During her first three years, Mary Jo Thayer was primarily cared for by her teenage sister.

They were so close that Mary Jo says, "She took me into herself."

Although it wasn't her sister's fault, Mary Jo felt abandoned when her sister moved across the country. Mary Jo carried this wound with her into adulthood.

Well into her marriage and raising her own children, Mary Jo realized she needed to heal the little girl inside her.
