Synopsis: Rosie&’s sins were never difficult to recall; they lined themselves up like baby ducks in her mind&’s eye. Her confession to Father Hart one day in 1974 went like this: &“I didn&’t finish all my chores. I stole the Halloween candy my mom hid in the pantry. And I let my Daddy touch my private places.&” Though it begins as an all-too-common story of childhood sexual abuse, Fortunate Daughter gradually becomes a rare story of how one person heals from that early trauma. In this intimate first-person narrative, Rosie McMahan offers the reader a portrait of misery, abuse, and hurt, followed by the difficult and painful task of healing—a journey that, in the end, reveals the complicated and nuanced venture of true reconciliation and the freedom that comes along with it.
