The devastating story of Carrie Buck.
Backstory. The Army moved our family of 6 to Northern Italy during the height Covid back in 2020. When we arrived, our family of six was placed in an old, empty home outfitted with barracks-style cots, a couch, and our 12 suitcases to quarantine for 15 days. A soldier left groceries outside the front door every few days. It was an experience….
During this time, I spent two weeks circling down a rabbit hole of this dirty secret I am about to share with you. There were tears—albeit, I was probably already in a peculiar emotional state given my family had just moved to a different continent during a global pandemic and I had no idea what lay before us… But still. The darkness that I was uncovering shattered my heart.
I called Crystal and told her this was one of the hardest pieces I had put together for The Pelican Project because of the evil that lurked in every corner.
As parents, I invite you to take a few minutes to read what we have shared here. Download “A Girl Named Carrie” for a PDF version to share with teens.
I pledge to joyfully reawaken a culture of life in my domestic church!
