Document Description

(1888PressRelease) Marianne Hooker was initially reluctant to share her family's often terrifying secrets and history of incest, physical abuse and psychological violence, but she realized by sharing her experiences in the nonfiction book "Expect a Miracle," it would be a therapeutic read for anyone who is living with similarly deep psychological wounds as well as for his or her family and friends.
