There’s a kind of silence that doesn’t just hide pain—it protects it. Behind stained-glass windows and family portraits, stories like Rebecca Hidlay’s are too often buried. But RARE (The true story of how I survived a narcissistic parent with homicidal tendencies. A testimony of God’s love and grace) refuses to stay quiet.
In this powerful and haunting memoir, Rebecca Hidlay opens the door on a life lived in fear, not from a stranger, but from her parent. What sets RARE apart is the raw truth of that violence and the setting in which it unfolded: a home cloaked in faith. The kind of home where church was regular, scripture was quoted, and abuse was hidden behind “godliness.”
Hidlay exposes how spiritual communities can unintentionally become shields for abusers. Through misused doctrine and blind reverence for authority, victims are often shamed into silence. But RARE shatters that silence. It is a voice for the children who grew up praying for rescue, for the believers who were told that suffering was sacred, and for the survivors who thought their pain was unmentionable.
More than a survival story, RARE is a declaration. Rebecca Hidlay doesn’t just tell what happened—she reclaims her narrative, faith, and identity.
This is not just a book. It’s a warning flare in the dark. You can hold RARE in your hands today through Amazon or explore deeper through Rebecca Hidlay’s official website. Let her truth reach the place your silence has lived too long.
