What was Maggie Hoyal's childhood like and what caused her to write about her abuse in the collection, I Never Told Anyone: Writings by Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse?

Maggie Hoyal had repressed the memories of her sexual abuse, which began at age nine months and lasted until she ran away from home at age 16. She began to deal with her past when she joined a writer's workshop and found herself writing about her memories. Members of the group validated her memories and felt anger for her.
