Secret Runaway: Healing From Childhood Shadows

By Kristin Marotta

A raw and powerful memoir of resilience, transformation and finding peace after extreme loss.

When trauma strikes early and often, how do you learn to trust the world or even yourself?

Kristin's childhood was marked by instability and abandonment along with the devastating loss of six friends in four months. Her early life was riddled with grief, anger and anxiety. As she was shuffled between homes she learned that love was conditional and safety was only temporary.

As death continued to cast its shadow and follow her through adulthood she never gave up hope. With spiritual guidance and the gift of motherhood Kristin set out on a quest to heal. Her wounds would become the pathway for personal transformation.

With honesty and unexpected humor, this memoir explores generational trauma, the path to forgiveness and the realization that you can't run from your pain. She learned that her past doesn't have to define you and once you start to heal you can truly live your best life.

For anyone who has faced grief, struggled to break family patterns or longs to find peace in the chaos this memoir offers companionship in the darkness and a roadmap towards the light.
