Stepping up to Understand and End Child Abuse - JoyRide: Life, Death and Forgiveness

Show Guest: Pamela Koefoed

What do an explosion, four house fires, fleeing from toxic chlorine gas, and escaping an attack by a

knife-wielding assailant mean to author Pamela Koefoed? Each of these events-part of her early childhood-are

graphically depicted in her new memoir, JoyRide: Life, Death and Forgiveness. Ms. Koefoed and her sister are

two gutsy little girls who draw on the love they have for each other, hold onto faith, and rise above the

unthinkable to show us all the way to a richer and more meaningful life. A journey that is so important,

JoyRide is extraordinarily well-done and a journey everyone must take!
