The forgiveness extended was exemplary, however, the course of events was very disturbing. Why didn't the church (and the townspeople) band together against Watts? Were they that intimidated? Why were to police and investigators so inept at dealing with the situation? Watts was obviously a prime suspect yet for the longest time he was not approached and rigorously questioned. Worst of all, Rebecca's father's (the pastor) first responsibility was to his family. He should have used his head along with his heart and, for the safety of his family, left the area if the church and town couldn't or wouldn't do anything to protect them. The Lord could have directed him to another church where he could love the people and have a fruitful ministry as he had in Sellersville. How his wife and he ended up should be confirmation enough that his judgment was faulty. So, it was troubling to read the book with the situation presented as if that was the Lord's plan for them.
