Publisher's Summary

A shocking true story of a girl's affair with her father.

After years of suffering multiple forms of abuse, a vulnerable young girl flees her home only to land straight into the arms of her biological father - a sexual predator.

My Daddy the Pedophile tells the harrowing true story of a teenage girl’s affair with her manipulative sociopathic father. After a terrible dark secret comes to light, the real story unfolds and her courageous journey of healing begins.

Powerful and inspiring, My Daddy the Pedophile offers hope, encouragement, and the knowledge that although the road may be bumpy and the journey long, it is always possible to prevail over great trauma.

What the critics say

"If you are easily shocked by what occurs behind closed doors in some average suburban neighborhoods, do not read this book. If you want to read a riveting tale of manipulation, abuse, and courageous healing, then this is the book for you." (Sharyn Higdon Jones, MFT, author of Healing Steps) 

"Lily Palazzi's memoir, My Daddy the Pedophile is a riveting, well-paced account of both how her father's calculated manipulation of her desperate need to be loved subjected her to the wounding distortions of incest and how through therapy and the true love of her husband she ultimately finds the healing she had once thought would never be possible." (Catherine McCall, author of the international best seller Never Tell)

“It pulls you along from page to page.... There's no self pity, no hate - just a suspenseful, honest, highly readable account of how a human being can emerge whole from even the worst of childhoods.” (Adair Lara, author of Naked, Drunk, and Writing)

Profile Image for Tony

I don't know why I did this to myself.

So this book, it's not good. It's like reading Lolita, but all the things in that book that were said nonchalantly and with charisma are things that supposedly actually happened. And are also described in ways you really don't want to hear. If you make it past the first few sentences, then you know what is in store for the rest of the book (words like "lollipop game" with a four year old, and later "dad forgave me and we went upstairs to have makeup sex" are but a few lines that turned my guts into a cement mixer). This book is hard to get through.

I couldn't really find any fault in the performance, and the writing was average. Our main source of information and narrator I found unlikable. Things she did and actions and stuff, I didn't like her. But the things in this book... You think it's bad for the first ten chapters, but then you go "wait, isn't this book called my daddy the pedophile? But isn't this girl 16 through 21? That's not a pedophile. Reprehensible, but the title is misleading".

And then it gets worse.

I honestly don't know who I'd recommend this book to. I read it curious about the psychology of it, and maybe being able to better understand how the abuse happens and how to help those who have gone through it. But this is years of abuse, by a villain that to me has no redeeming values at all. This was honestly almost too much for me and I needed to take breaks just to get through it. It's really pretty messed up.

If you've had any of this kind of stuff happen to you before, I don't know if I'd suggest it. And if you are a regular Joe (regular in this instance meaning someone who has no interest in sex with children, or your own children) then I can't see the merit there either. I'm left at the end of the book with a sickened feeling, and with a main character I don't even like.

However, if you want a trip down a really bad lane then this is the one. It is sickening and infuriating, and then sickening again. So have at it.
