About the guest – Author Regina LaFrance has come a long way since leaving her native small village. A place she called home until tragedy struck. Drawing from her direct experience, her semi-autographical novel, Shayla, is a depiction of the events that happened when she was violently raped as a young girl by a pedophile priest in her community. Her tell-all book further speaks to the deep-seeded wounds and trauma that have followed into her adult life as striving to reinvent herself and find healing. Shayla is LaFrance’s sharing, and ultimate hope, for others who have been molested and suffered from abuse. Passionate in the resolve of this issue, LaFrance has made it her ongoing effort to prevent the unthinkable from happening to more innocent children. She resides in North Carolina with her husband, Dan, a retired fire lieutenant. Both are transplants from Boston where they met.
