When the Truth Shatters Everything
The sirens were gone. The arrest had been made. But the world around Rebecca Hidlay was still burning. In the pages of her gripping memoir, RARE (The true story of how I survived a narcissistic parent with homicidal tendencies. A testimony of God’s love and grace.), the chaos doesn’t end when the police leave. That’s where the real story begins.
A Godmother’s Steady Voice
When the world tilts beneath your feet, some voices feel like anchors. After Rebecca’s mother was arrested, she reached for her godmother—not out of habit, but out of need. That conversation, etched into the early chapters of RARE, didn’t erase the horror but gave Rebecca a place to begin again. Her godmother didn’t offer rehearsed reassurances. She gave her truth, spiritual grounding, and the presence that turns fear into clarity. In that moment, Rebecca found her first lifeline.
The Pastor Who Sat With Grief
The next hand came in quietly—her pastor’s. Without speeches, without pressure. Just presence. His role in RARE isn’t about preaching; it’s about holding sacred space. Rebecca’s pastor listened when the pain had no words. He prayed when hope seemed silent. And most importantly, he reminded her—by his stillness and care—that she hadn’t lost everything. That divine love was still intact. Even when justice felt jagged and incomplete, his guidance brought her the calm of spiritual reassurance.
Lori: Truth’s Unexpected Ally
Lori should have been a stranger. She was the daughter of the victim, John, the man Rebecca’s mother murdered. But in RARE, Lori becomes something else entirely: a mirror, a partner in pain, and ultimately, an ally in pursuit of truth. Their bond didn’t come from shared pasts, but shared wounds. In the face of betrayal, they found one another—and formed an alliance rooted in honesty and a desire for justice. Their connection doesn’t feel convenient or manufactured. It feels like destiny.
A Church that Refused to Let Go
In RARE, the church isn’t painted with broad strokes. It’s not a backdrop. It’s a lifeline. While much of the world responded to Rebecca’s family scandal with whispers or judgment, her church family responded with prayer, kindness, and quiet resilience. These were the people who didn’t demand explanations. They offered safety. They reminded her of grace—not the easy kind, but the kind that shows up when you’re too broken to ask for it.
Where Blood Let Her Down, Love Stepped In
Rebecca Hidlay’s RARE (The true story of how I survived a narcissistic parent with homicidal tendencies) is more than a memoir; it’s a testament to the unconventional ways family can show up—whether through a crisis call or a heartfelt prayer. This book supports anyone facing their struggles, reminding readers of the power of community and the importance of staying connected when the world feels overwhelming.
