Resilience and the power of forgiveness.  Today I talk with Stephanie Thornton Plymale about her memoir, American Daughter. The subtitle of Stephanie’s book says it all: A Memoir of Intergenerational Trauma, a Mother’s Dark Secrets, and a Daughter’s Quest for Redemption. 

Her memoir has been called harrowing, and her childhood was unimaginably traumatic. But today, Stephanie is a successful author, the CEO of Heritage School of Interior Design, and the founder of The Heritage Home Foundation.

Stephanie's journey is powerful and she decided that it was time to share her story.  “Stephanie hid the traumas of her past for decades, including her sexual abuse, poverty, and a mentally ill mother who went in and out of jail. One phone call brought her past to the present and forced her to face the past she’d long-ignored. An inspiring story of perseverance, grit, survival and humanity, “American Daughter” is a powerful, compelling memoir.”
