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.
