Seventeen years ago, Tricia St John lost her left hand and two fingers on her right in a domestic violence incident.
She has fought her way through fear, emotional and physical abuse, separation from her children, the loss of her limb, and discrimination, only to come out stronger on the other side. She wants people to see she more than a survivor.
She recently got her driver’s licence, will be graduating with an associate degree in social work this year, and is in the process of writing her fourth and re-writing her first book.
