{"product_id":"9781465361370","title":"Forgive Me Father for I Have Sinned","description":"Although there is a great deal of attention given – quite rightly so – to pedophile priests, my experience with clergy sexual abuse was also a nightmare. It started out by my being raped as a teenager by a priest who I thought I could trust and then being coerced into having an affair with him for fear of losing my children. A skilled manipulator, especially of vulnerable teenagers and young women who had challenges in their lives, we all thought a priest could help us overcome our particular situations. Once he gained my trust and pretended to be a friend, he set about a path to manipulate me toward a path to a living hell that put my spiritual health and soul in danger. I saw him as a man of the cloth, a man of God who would help me and my children without expecting anything in return. Little did I know I was not his fi rst victim, nor would I be his last, lured by his promises to leave the church for me, and by his word that God himself had sent him to save us.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125727969520,"sku":"9781465361370","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465361370_p0.jpg?v=1763683985","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465361370","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
