Rhonda Sciortino was abandoned at the age of six months, and became a ward of the court until she emancipated at 16. Except for a brief time with a wonderful foster family, those first 16 years were spent in the custody of a mentally ill man and alcoholic woman–her grandparents.
What an inspired and beautiful interview. Kudos to the host for facilitating such a powerful story, and to Rhonda for sharing it!
