Born into poverty and violence, Lora's early life was one of
extreme vulnerability. She was prostituted for the first time at
the age of nine and suffered unspeakable treatment from those who
should have protected her. Early trauma led to her
institutionalization soon after she started college, an
incarceration she would not have survived but for a courageous
nurse who fought for her release. Fifty years later, with an
advanced degree in clinical psychology, a long career as a
successful mental health professional, a leading educator and
sought-after public speaker, Lora revisited the grounds of the
Illinois state mental hospital where she was once kept in inhumane,
degrading, and life-threatening circumstances. This profound and
compelling memoir traces her life as a survivor of child abuse, sex
trafficking, illegal pharmacological drug research, and
institutional abuse. Lora's experiences illuminate and validate the
power of love and the strength of the indomitable human spirit that
lives within each one of us. This is her story.
