Marjorie McKinnon writes a moving memoir that reads like a mystery where she buries her pain and the reality of a childhood trauma in her words, writing poetry, short stories and several books, both fiction and non-fiction. She grows up in a patriarchal, Catholic family in small towns in the Midwest. When she is 13 her father rapes her as she lies asleep in her bottom bunk. When she is 18 she runs away from home spending the next 22 years going from one abuser to another. Two suicide attempts put her in a Psychiatric Ward. At the age of 45, now married to her third abuser, she enters recovery, living part time in a women's shelter. It will be a 5-year period where she develops her own program of recovery while living in a domestic violence situation. Once she has completed recovery, having rid herself of her abuser, she becomes the happiest person she knows. After recovery, she spends three years developing the REPAIR program, a compilation of all she learned while in her own recovery.
