Married to Sin

Married to Sin, a memoir, written by Darlene D. Collier with Meredith Coleman McGee is a true story about hideous family secrets, redemption, and personal achievement. Collier’s ‘tell all’ memoir leaves readers speechless.

Collier’s story reached back to slavery and its aftermath and resumes in the mid-twentieth century detailing decades of family dysfunction and abuse. Collier lost her mother at age three; a few years later, she and her siblings were removed from their home and ordered to live in a reform school. After being freed from reform school, Collier became a teenage bride - committed to a marriage of sinful degradation.

In the book’s forward, Dr. Vicki Barlow said:

This heart breaking memoir about sexual and physical abuse brings you into a hidden world of poisonous family secrets and betrayals that are passed down from one generation to the next in a cycle of never ending despair. My work with victims of trauma has taught me how deadly these family secrets can be. But these family patterns can be broken so that the following generations may be free.
