Overview
As a young child, the first complete sentence Kate Price ever uttered was “Where’s Daddy?” Not because she wanted to find her father—but because she didn’t want her father to find her.
As a little girl growing up in Appalachia, her father was the hunter and she and her sister were the prey. Price knew he was a violent threat to her very existence, but she could not fully grasp the extent of his abuse.
It wasn’t until, at the urging of her mother, she finally escaped via her academic accomplishments and started a new life in Boston, that she discovered and reconciled the full truth of her dark past. Now, in her exquisitely rendered, transformative memoir, Price describes how she both broke free of the generational cycle of abuse, poverty, and violence that defined her childhood and eventually returned to the very same Appalachian community to provide the supports and services to children there that she never received. She is able to ultimately marry these two worlds to create a loving and meaningful life and family on her own terms and in service to others.
With breathtaking insight and revelation into the evolution of her healing, This Happened to Me chronicles Price’s enduring transformation from fearful child to empowered adult, from victim to advocate, and from despair to triumph.
