WinePress Author Named Writer of the Year at Write-to-Publish

Karen Rabbitt, author of Trading Fathers: Forgiving Dad, Embracing God, won the Writer of the Year award at last week’s Write-to-Publish Conference in Wheaton, IL.

Here’s what the judge said about her book:

The winner of the Writer of the Year award truly satisfies the reader’s cry, “Take me there.” She uses uncommonly vivid sensory detail to transport her readers—to scenes from her difficult years of childhood abuse through to her adult life of struggling to relate to both her earthly father and her heavenly Father.

Yet her sensitivity to “how much pain to share” and her careful balancing of “stories of hurt” with stories of people who showed her little glimpses of unconditional love along the way, keeps this memoir uplifting.

Trading Fathers: Forgiving Dad, Embracing God
is beautifully written. And it’s a valuable resource to help readers—whether they’ve had similar backgrounds or not—learn hope, healing, and forgiveness, as she has, by God’s grace.

Here’s a YouTube video about Trading Fathers:

You can read a 4-part series Karen wrote for Mary DeMuth’s Family Secrets blog.

Congratulations, Karen! We’re so proud of you!
