Acclaim for It's Your Choice!
"It's Your Choice! is bursting with the wisdom of the tried and true, akin to a good friend's advice. The author's style is intimate but never imposing. She shares rather than lectures. She asks: how does one find a meaning in one's life and thus enhance it? And she answers with ladles of tips and anecdotes, real life stories and popular philosophy."
--Sam Vaknin, PhD, author of Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited.

Marjorie McKinnon
Marjorie McKinnon has been writing since the age of thirteen, when she wrote poetry to hide her pain. Despite her father's confession in her mid-thirties about an incestuous relationship he'd had with her that began when she was thirteen, she had buried all memories of the childhood trauma. She had run away from home when she was eighteen and spent the next 27 years going from one abuser to another. During that time she was hospitalized twice for suicide attempts, spent time in a women's shelter and raised four children as a single mother. During recovery she wrote about her experience and what it was like to emerge on the other side of "the bridge of recovery." It is a chronicle of growing up in small Midwestern towns in a Catholic family and of hiding her anguish behind words, poetry that she termed her inner voices. It is also a detailed account of the journey one takes in going from a place of despair to one of joy. That book, titled I Never Heard A Robin Sing became her first attempt to publish. When Marjorie was half way through recovery she found out that her two older daughters had been sexually abused by her second husband. Her youngest daughter had been raped at gunpoint while working at a fast food place when she was 17. This so totally accents the reality that child sexual abuse is a multi-generational problem. Unable to sell her memoir, she spent several years writing other books: a fiction trilogy, two other novels, four volumes of poetry, and 14 non-fiction works, six of which have been pubished. Marjorie re-read her own first person account to re-walk the path she had taken. She never realized at the time how blessed she was, for that path, though rugged, was straight, and in retrospect provided her with invaluable help to spend three years creating the REPAIR program. Loving Healing Press has published six of her books: REPAIR Your Life: A Program for Recovery from Incest & Childhood Sexual Abuse, REPAIR For Kids, REPAIR For Toddler, REPAIR For Teens, REPAIR Your Life Workbook and It's Your Choice! Decisions That Will Change Your Life. Hello My Name is Marjorie, a book she is currently working on is an email account of her courtship with Tom McKinnon, her husband, who she met on the Internet while doing genealogy research on McKinnons (her name was also McKinnon). Tom did the illustrations for the two the children's versions of her REPAIR books. They now live in the Sedona, AZ area. Marjorie is also the founder of The Lamplighter Movement, a rapidly growing international movement for recovery from child sexual abuse that emphasizes the importance of REPAIRing the damage. Most of her chapters are using her REPAIR program as a model for recovery. Currently there are 92 Lamplighter Movement chapters in thirteen countries including 18 in Africa. Marjorie is trying to get Lamplighter chapters in all of the women's prisons. So far they have two, one in Chino, CA and one in Gadsden, Florida.She is also trying to get chapters established in high schools and women's shelters. The Lamplighter's website is at www.thelamplighters.org
