{"product_id":"she-said-god-blessed-us-gail-hovey-9781476682778","title":"She Said God Blessed Us: A Life Marked by Childhood Sexual Abuse in the Church","description":"\u003cp\u003e When Gail Hovey was a teenager, her local Presbyterian church hired Georgia, a seminary-trained Christian education director. Brilliant and charismatic, Georgia used the language of faith to seduce several of her students, swearing each to secrecy. When she eventually abandoned the others and focused on Gail, Gail believed herself uniquely blessed and for the next 15 years modeled her life on Georgia's--the seminary degree, the minister husband. The relationship had a profound and lasting influence on the woman Gail became and left her a legacy of guilt and shame. Shedding light on the largely invisible issue of sexual abuse of girls by women, Hovey's brave memoir relates her decades-long journey--from East Harlem to South Africa to Brooklyn--to break free of an overwhelmingly powerful and deeply destructive first love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Hovey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476682771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476682778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Exposit Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Gail Hovey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989016772863,"sku":"9781476682778","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_438aff21-3d93-4f55-823e-37d96b124619.jpg?v=1683297434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/she-said-god-blessed-us-gail-hovey-9781476682778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
