It’s bad enough that anyone would suffer extreme trauma and abuse as a child, so how much worse can it be when such a person tries to get help, only to find that the persons they trust only make the problem worse? Laura Lee can tell you about that; it’s part of her journey toward freedom and healing from the pains that plagued her for much of her life. In this second part of our conversation, she shares the progressively more difficult stages of her journey, starting with her return to church, where she found that her wounds were deeper and more complicated than she thought.
Laura Lee’s journey as the Modern Day Samaritan Woman reminds us in some ways of the Prodigal coming home. That’s what the Exodus Road Band sings about in their musical offerings. There’s also an element of deception in Laura’s story – not just the deception under which she labored, but the deception of others that she encountered. Barry and David address that in this concluding part of their appropriately-named midrash, “Be Not Deceived.”
