Produktbeschreibung
Make Someday Today is my inaugural autobiography and my story of years of verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. My eldest daughter's boyfriend, Justin, lost his entire family in an instant when their plane crashed on February 3, 2006, just short of the airport as they were travelling to their vacation home for the Superbowl. Two months later, to the day, I was hit with my cancer diagnosis. It was his strength and determination to continue in this game of life that inspired me to stop feeling sorry for myself, get out of bed, dust myself off and get back in my own game of life. Through him, I saw his purpose and there was a reason he decided not to get on the plane that fateful day. He inspired me to recognize my purpose, which is to share my story for women, and yes, men, too, who are victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in the hopes that they will make someday today when it comes to having the courage to leave their abusers. I promised Justin that if I ever created the educational foundation, I would name it in honor of his family. I am proud to say that if all goes as planned, The Kraut Family Educational Foundation will be funded in 2025. My hope is to provide hundreds, even thousands of educational scholarships to pay it forward by funding the foundation with donations and a portion of the proceeds of my books. My story is not a happy one, but the ending is a glorious one, and it is one that I think everyone can relate to.
Autorenporträt
CHRIS QUINN initially started this as a self help book for women of domestic abuse and sexual assault and it evolved into her autobiography instead. She was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 23rd, Thanksgiving Day in 1961 and her family then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of three. Her father, Roy Woolley, a maintenance mechanic for S.E.P.T.A (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), and her mother, Grace (nee Robinson), the Community School Coordinator for Richmond School in Port Richmond, as well as a Special Education teacher at Frankford High School, gave their children a charmed childhood. She spent her summers at their vacation home in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and they kept their family home in Atlantic City since her grandfather built it, and her birthplace made it sentimental. She spent winters in their vacation home in the Pocono Mountains, where she began skiing at the age of two. Her primary residence was in Port Richmond, a small neighborhood, tucked away off the northeastern Pennsylvania I-95 corridor which is where she grew up and held her primary residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A high school graduate, she received her diploma from John W. Hallahan, All Catholic High School for Girls located in center city, Philadelphia. She has strong ties to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania in the Lake Harmony area and is an avid skier.
