SUMMARY:Redeemed: A Memoir of a Stolen Childhood, with Penny Lane
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nClick here to register for this free virtual event.\n\nPenny Lane’s Redeemed: A Memoir of a Stolen Childhood is an inspiring rise-from-the-ashes story of overcoming abuse and trauma, of being waylaid by both family and religion’s promise of love, and harnessing the resilience to find the way home\nWhen she is abruptly snatched away from her home by a Hungarian father she does not know, four-year-old Penny finds herself in a strange, foreign household with a stepmother who alternately abuses and ignores her. After years of isolation, neglect, and abuse in a strange, dysfunctional household, she escapes—only to find herself in a relationship with a man who has become a fundamentalist Christian, which introduces a new sort of captivity. Ultimately, she summons the strength to stand up against societal and familial pressure and finds her way to happiness on her own terms, which includes converting to Judaism and finding meaning in being part of a Jewish community.\nPenny Lane is a writer, wife and mother with an insatiable passion for life and books. Originally from Jackson Heights, Queens, she loves being outdoors-cycling, hiking, traveling, and connecting to, and inspiring people. She has a BS in business and management from the University of Phoenix and an MA in industrial/organizational psychology from Golden Gate University. In her spare time, she helps underserved youth learn to read, apply to college, and find jobs once they graduate, and in food pantries and other non-profits near her home in Mill Valley, California. She is a member of Congregation Rodef Shalom in San Rafael, California. \nProgram made possible, in part, by Marc and Marci Dollinger.\n\n\n\n\n
