The Prodigal Daughter

A true story

by Kay D. Rizz

“Splendid performance, Miss Austin. If you ever decide to pursue an acting career in Hollywood, give me a call.”

The nineteen-year-old gasped and stared at the gold lettering on the white card in her hand.

It read, “Maxwell Talent Agency—Clyde Maxwell, talent scout.” 

The Prodigal Daughter is based on the true story of a young and gifted woman who leaves home amid the protests and tears of her father. Headstrong and determined to become a star, Brianna soon finds herself swept into a world far different from the life of fame and riches she’d expected. As her dreams begin to crumble, little does she realise the horror into which she is about to plunge.

Like Jesus’ story of another errant child, The Prodigal Daughter portrays a father’s love and reminds us of how far our heavenly Father will go in order to redeem and restore His lost children.      

I pray that by the time you finish reading The Prodigal Daughter, you will have a renewed appreciation for the prayers of faithful parents, the forgiveness our Savior bestows on His wayward children, and the eternal love He lavishes on each of us daily.—Kay D. Rizzo

[ Bookshelf Review ]
Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son (see Luke 15:11–32) has sparked countless re-tellings in literature and other arts forms—to the extent that it can be difficult to do something “new” with this well-loved story of the Father’s love and grace. But, in The Prodigal Daughter, Kay Rizzo has done this through telling a stylised true story, fitting a real-life experience of a young woman pursuing an acting dream in Hollywood, California, into the frame of the familiar parable.
In so doing, the true story adds enough—including additional back-story, a troubled romance, a dramatic and miraculous escape, and an FBI raid—to the simple original to grab the reader’s attention. It also includes an important acknowledgment of the realities of rape and human trafficking, with an invitation to join with Women’s Ministries’ “End It Now” campaign.
As such, The Prodigal Daughter is more than its seemingly retro cover suggests. On it’s own, the story is a remarkable, contemporary account of God’s intervention to rescue a young woman from her poor decisions and the traps they led her into. But told in this way, the story is also an invitation to re-examine the real-life love of the Father in Jesus’ story and His readiness—and His longing—to welcome each of us home, no matter how far from Him we might be. —Nathan Brown, book editor, Signs Publishing
