Dirty Details Reviews
"Marion and her family have done a wonderful job of showing that there is life after innocence... And while each episode is a cry for help--a proof that 'one person, one family cannot do this alone'--it is also a testimony that no matter how late in the game help arrives, it will not be too late. Her message, then, to society is: mark us 'fragile' but don't leave us for dead." --Maggie Strong, Founder, Well Spouse Foundation and author of Mainstay
