There Was Night and There Was Morning : A Memoir of Trauma and Redemption

Sara Sherbill was raised by a father who was both a representative of God and a broken man harboring an intricate set of secrets. The charismatic leader of a splinter Orthodox religious community, he was a devoted rabbi beloved by his congregation, but behind closed doors his family lived in fear of his unpredictable violence and manipulation. Sherbill's riveting story explores what happens when a daughter is tasked with keeping a father's secrets--and the cost of keeping them too long. Written with grace and raw honesty, it's a searing story about learning to live alongside our traumas without letting them consume us--what some might call redemption.
