Deception takes us on an emotional journey. In this powerful theatre-of-the-mind memoir Deb Myers examines the devastating consequences of the sexual abuse that followed her life. At sixteen after a break up with her boyfriend she reached out to a much older married teacher for emotional support. Their friendship crossed the line resulting in an affair that lasted more than two years. You will catch a glimpse of Deb's early life as a Deaf girl of Deaf parents along with the events leading up to the affair. Then you'll witness the aftermath of the abuse – her plunge into depression the incessant guilt over the relationship and the lingering effects on her marriage. Yet along the way God gently worked through Deb’s life and led her into the role of a pastor’s wife the gradual strengthening of her marriage and eventually the painful – yet freeing – realization that the abuse was not her fault. The result is an uplifting story of God's grace mercy and redemption. [Deb Myers; (2014) 260 pages; soft cover]
