NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Read the shocking true story now featured in the Netflix documentary My Father, The BTK Killer.

What is it like to learn that your ordinary, loving father is a serial killer? Discover the true story behind the BTK killer, as told by those closest to him.

In 2005, Kerri Rawson opened the door of her apartment to greet an FBI agent who shared the shocking news that her father had been arrested for murdering ten people, including two children.

That's also when she first learned that her father was the notorious serial killer known as BTK, a name he'd given himself that described the horrific way he committed his crimes: bind, torture, kill. As news of his capture spread, the city of Wichita celebrated the end of a thirty-one-year nightmare. For Kerri Rawson, another was just beginning.

In the weeks and years that followed, Kerri was plunged into a black hole of horror and disbelief. The same man who had been a loving father, a devoted husband, church president, Boy Scout leader, and a public servant had been using their family as a cover for his heinous crimes since before she was born. Everything she had believed about her life had been a lie.

Written with candor and extraordinary courage, A Serial Killer's Daughter is an unflinching exploration of life with one of America's most infamous killers and an astonishing tale of personal and spiritual transformation.

A Serial Killer's Daughter will give you the encouragement you need to learn how to:

  • Pick up the pieces of your life when everything falls apart
  • Begin to heal from the long-lasting effects of violence
  • Trust that light will overcome the darkness

Kerri Rawson's story offers the hope of reclaiming sanity in the midst of madness, rebuilding a life in the shadow of death, and learning to forgive the unforgivable.

I know these memories and reflections must have been exceptionally painful to write. My heart truly breaks for you. I hope that it was at least to some extent therapeutic for you to write and I pray you find some peace as you make new and better memories with your children. The book has been so illuminating into just how devastating one person's actions can be on so many lives.

Fascinating insight into a struggle for survival

She constantly talks about god which does not allow
me to take her seriously. Other than this, ok. After boring beginning with too many unnecessary details, it gets better.

I thought this book was very well written.
it was sad, depressing at times but also moving and uplifting! I felt I was by Kerri's side as she walked you through her life and at times I even found myself liking her father( the father she knew) but then I actually felt guilty for liking him, so I can only imagine the conflicting feelings Kerri has to live with.

Moving and uplifting!
