Description of Ruined
Review Riveting. . . . Forthright, compassionate, and expertly crafted--everything readers should want from a memoir.--KIRKUS REVIEWS, a starred reviewEverhart is at her best when dismantling the sexism that surrounds rape. . . �a touching and empowering story of healing.-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, a starred reviewMany levels of excellent writing are skillfully woven into this memoir. It is far more than just a moving narrative by a remarkable �person (although it is that). �It is a story �of lived theology: �everything that has to do with God and the Gospel written in the language of everyday suffering, pain and blessing and love. Rape and shame, friendship �and family find their place on these pages providing witness to a mature lived faith.-- EUGENE PETERSON, author of The MessageRuined is one of those memoirs that sticks to your heart, helps you understand the power of a story, and gives you a framework to understand God when terrible things happen. Honest and beautifully written, Ruth's story will help readers discover the love of God in unexpected ways.--MARY DeMUTH, author of Worth LivingMostly I wish this book never needed to be written. But it did, it was, and it's powerful. With heart-wrenching honesty and a refusal to leave the chaos, Ruth Everhart shows us the raw courage necessary to emerge both wounded and healed. Alternating between fury, hurt, fear, and rage, we journey with her to find God and her way back to life.--NANCY ORTBERG, author of Looking for God and Seeing in the DarkWhat makes this narrative worth reading is how Everhart has contextualized her response to the rape--feeling ruined--within patriarchal theology. . . . This memoir isn't about a rape; it's the story of rising from hurt to construct a new cosmology that encompasses personal and systemic evil.-- ELIZABETH JARRETT ANDREW, author of�Writing the Sacred Journey: The Art and Practice of Spiritual Memoir�Ruth has a wonderful gift with language. Ruined is, in turns, wrenching and funny and earthy, horrific and sublime.�-- DAVID WILLIAMS, author of The Believer's Guide to the Multiverse�Her writing is frank and visceral, lyrical and even humorous . . . While the descriptions of the attack . . . are distressing, Ruth brings you into the room in a way that is powerful without being gratuitous. Her theological reflections are profound. Her wrestling with the racial component of the assault is honest and unselfconscious.�-- MARTHA SPONG, editor of There's a Woman in the PulpitRuth's bravery, resilience, honesty, and intelligence - emotional and otherwise - makes reading�Ruined�so worth the risk of becoming a witness to her pain.�-- KATHERINE WILLIS PERSHEY, author of Very Married: Field Notes on Love & Fidelity Read more About the Author Ruth Everhart is an author, speaker, and Presbyterian pastor.
