For 50 years, Stephanie Thornton Plymale kept her past a fiercely guarded secret.

No one outside her immediate family could have guessed that her childhood was fraught with hardship: neglect, hunger, poverty, homelessness, truancy, foster homes, a harrowing lack of medical care, ongoing sexual abuse, and a perpetually absent mother—a mentally ill woman who was in and out of jails and psych wards. Stephanie later uncovers that the terror and fear that she experienced as a child are the insidious ripple effects from an appalling crime that occurred in the summer of 1953 in Baltimore, Maryland, and made national news.

Stephanie began a series of “interviews” with her mother in an attempt to find answers and to get her mother to take personal responsibility for the past. The two embark on a journey of discovery in American Daughter  as a series of shocking revelations forces Stephanie to see every aspect of her painful childhood and her mother with fresh eyes.

About the author:    Stephanie Thornton Plymale is the CEO of Heritage School of Interior Design and the founder of the Heritage Home Foundation, a nonprofit serving families transitioning from homelessness.

Conference Topic | Living a Limitless Life

Sarah is the founder and Director of Her Future Coalition, an international charity that has helped thousands of girls rise out of poverty and exploitation to become free and independent.

Her Future Coalition has been selected for a collaboration with Michelle Obama's Girls  Opportunity Alliance, a campaign to promote and support education for the most vulnerable girls, around the world.  

Over the years they have served tens of thousands of survivors in India, Nepal, Cambodia and Thailand. Most exciting to Sarah is the fact that the survivors who joined our programs a few years ago are now managing the programs, working as trainers and mentors to newly rescued girls. They couldn’t imagine any future at all when they were living in brothels. Now their dreams are limitless!

To get a sense of Sarah, here’s her Ted Talk and long-form bio. On the podcast, she could talk about all things women's empowerment and overcoming obstacles in the human trafficking.
