My first encounter came by reading the remarkable story 'My Justice' written by Ms. McKnight that dealt with how she survived a great deal of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse during her lifetime, beginning from when she was a child.
As I read about an incredible, brave journey of a women trying to break the chains of abuse, what I realized too was there was a women who was trying to grasp the understanding that she had a voice - an important voice - just like you and me.
Today, and after freeing herself from the type of abuse no person should ever face, Patricia McKnight has become a leading social advocate willing to help those less fortunate than herself, including the plight of victimized children.
In Peter Thomas Senese's 'Heroes' series, there is a wonderful introspective about Patricia McKnight. I think that many will benefit by reading about this woman of courage who is now living 'My Justice' by living in freedom.
Indeed, Patricia McKnight is a hero to many: she stood up to abuse, broke the chains that confined her, and then went back to the battleground to help others.
Surely, that is a hero.
Enjoy the read,
