As noted by Oprah: “A childhood of abuse almost kept Marala Scott from a life of happiness ... Until she discovered how to use her story to help others.” Marala shares her prolific story in her memoir, In Our House: Perception vs. Reality, which chronicles a childhood unlike any other. It is the chilling story of a successful family, and reveals the hidden reality behind appearances.

More than two years ago, Marala was told by doctors that she only had one week to live. She had suffered from multiple brain aneurysms, in which doctors were afraid to operate due to the complexity of the surgery. The chances of her surviving were slim. Their prognosis—she would become a vegetable. The operation consisted of doctors placing a metal plate in her head. Marala calls this her battle scar.
