Safe In Socks: My Memoir

Two years into the all-girl Archbishop Keough High School, I became a naked plaything for a powerful priest who was a counselor there, Father A. Joseph Maskell. This brand-new state-of-the-art school was comprised of 1200 young students who had competed for the honor of being there. I was one of the lucky few accepted into this school. Little did I know then about the dark monster there whose immense power provided him easy access to the girls he considered ripe for the taking. My memoir speaks about how I survived the rampant sex ring at Keough which led to a nun being murdered because she tried to stop the abuse. I am an attorney who was featured in the Emmy nominated docuseries, The Keepers, which aired on Netflix on May 19, 2017, in 175 countries in 25 languages. This production changed my life and made me a celebrity to its many viewers from around the globe. People continue to watch The Keepers which is still promoted as one of the best true crime shows on Netflix. Viewers reach out to me for guidance and to share their stories of abuse on a daily basis. Safe in Socks is my story. I'm not an easy person to understand. Trust is difficult for me. Life as I knew it crumbled and fell into pieces after a trusted priest and his friends sexually abused me in all sorts of perverted ways. I built walls to protect myself and rarely allowed anyone into what I call my inner sanctum, my inner-most self. Slowly, I became able to gather the pieces of my shattered life and reassemble them to survive.... then thrive. This memoir unfolds my journey starting with my carefree childhood, through teenage insanity, growing into adulthood, and finally realizing my dream of becoming an attorney.
