“Reviewed By Grant Leishman for Readers’ Favorite
Highway to Healing by Shae Pratcher is a heartrending but beautifully victorious account of one woman’s journey coming to terms with sexual abuse perpetrated on her as an innocent child. An army brat, Shae and her family moved around a lot from camp to camp, and with her parents in the military, one or both were frequently away from home on deployment. From a tender age, Shae’s biological father not only groomed her for sexual abuse but perpetrated heinous and extremely damaging abuse over seven long years. When the young girl finally found the courage to speak up about what was happening, although her father admitted to the abuse, he would attempt to place the blame and the initiation on Shae. Instead of being separated from the abuser, her mother allowed their father to continue living at home with them rather than face the realities of reporting him to the authorities. Shae started a long and arduous journey to completion and recovery for herself, her husband, and her family. She details her journey in this story as both a cathartic experience and a roadmap for other sexual abuse sufferers to show them they are not alone and there is a possibility to find their true path, no matter what has happened.
Highway to Healing is a personal story that has the potential to create adverse reactions in readers. Yet, author Shae Pratcher has presented it in such a gentle and warm style that one is uplifted and renewed by the author’s journey. I particularly appreciated that the author’s deep faith, plus the unwavering support of her husband and therapist, allowed her to navigate the deep and dangerous waters in which she found herself. For Shae, her deep faith was in God, but whatever the reader’s faith or beliefs may be, this faith in something greater than herself gave her the strength to address the past and, most importantly, to move forward. This woman’s courage is incredible and admirable, but just as important in this narrative is the clear, practical, and meaningful steps that she contributes to readers who may have experienced any form of abuse, sexual or otherwise. It was hard to accept that few in her immediate family seemed willing to condemn her father for his actions and were prepared to accept his half-hearted apologies and twisted versions of events. Ultimately, this book is not about survival but triumph and empowerment. I found this story deeply inspirational and uplifting. For these reasons, I can highly recommend this read.”
