She began running away at the age of five after her mother dropped me out of a two-story window. Two broken arms later Marnie was sent to live with her grandparents ... the creators of her mother. Marnie spent the rest of my childhood running away, until finally, at the 13, she stayed away for good. MISSING: A True Story of a Childhood Lost is a story of a young girl's survival, a woman's surthrival. It is a story of suffering, of healing, of rising up against all odds and discovering the power of the human spirit to heal and love.

Now I had an explanation as to why: I was paying up front. I decided that I was destined for greatness and I just had to power through."
