See No Evil

The Shed, My Dad, and the Church

A memoir of abuse, trauma, narcissism, denial, betrayal, and redemption.

See No Evil is short enough to finish in one sitting—and powerful enough to stay with you for a lifetime.

For four years of his childhood, PJ Smyth endured the unthinkable at the hands of his father—a man who posed as a spiritual leader while inflicting devastating abuse.

This is Smyth’s raw, unflinching account of that trauma, and of the long road to healing. Told with piercing honesty yet surprising hope, this brief but unforgettable memoir was written to be listened to in a single sitting. Its brevity is intentional: distilled truth, no fluff—just one man’s story of pain and the grace that carried him through.

Honest. Accessible. Redemptive.
