Michelle A. Barry

Newcomer author and advocate Michelle Barry sheds light on the shroud of secrecy which often accompanies the shame of incest. She continues to educate herself and others on fearless survivorship. Her goal is to create a network of advocates who work with incest survivors nationwide. She wants to help survivors navigate through the sensitive period following disclosure of their abuse to family and friends. Support is unpredictable and the impact on family dynamics are significant. Often the best support comes from another survivor. She resides in Minnesota with her supportive husband, her five adult children, and her three, irresistible, grandchildren who live nearby. Her devotion to her family ensures that every branch of her family tree is nurtured by unwavering love for many generations to come.
