Marlene’s story is a beautiful reminder that anything is possible. You can recreate yourself and start over. Again. And again. And again. 

At 14, Marlene leaves home, drops out of school and gets a job waitressing. Her early story is one of survival: eating in soup kitchens, foraging for mushrooms and accepting welfare. It’s also one of emotional trauma that left her feeling unwanted and unloved.
