Book: In A Place for Starr, a courageous young girl tells the story of how she and her brother escape a scary home life and then how their family journeys to a peaceful, hopeful future.
Inspired by Mary Kilpatrick’s experience while working with hundreds of abused, brave mothers and children at a New York-based domestic violence shelter, she and her husband, Howard Schor, acted upon that inspiration and collaborated to produce A Place for Starr, their first illustrated book for children.
