'A brilliant and moving account of a journey of healing ... Thank you Kate, for sharing your courage and your hard-earned wisdom.' - Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score

'Price not only rises above the hurt and hate, she uses her hard-won insights to shine a light for others.' -Jeannette Walls, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle

For readers of Educated, The Glass Castle, and Know My Name comes a powerful memoir that is a remarkable testament of survival and resilience. At once harrowing and inspiring, Kate Price's story is testament to the power to heal.

Kate Price grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania with her sister and parents. In leaving, she broke one of many, unwritten rules when it came to cycles of poverty, violence, addiction, mental illness, and abuse. She started a new life in Boston where she began to experience a series of hazy, horrifying flashbacks.

Through work with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, a trauma specialist and author of The Body Keeps the Score, Price discovered that her father had abused and trafficked her as a child. So began a 10-year quest with a journalist from the Boston Globe. Revisiting the hometown she thought she had left forever, the two found the proof Price had been searching for.

In her transformative memoir, Price describes how she broke free of that which had defined her childhood, to create a life and family on her own terms. From victim to advocate, from fearful child to empowered adult, This Happened to Me is a story of astonishing resilience and breathtaking determination.
