My name is Lorna Sharon Elliott and this site exists for women who feel trapped, afraid and alone and for those who have left and are learning to live again. I am currently writing a memoir series called The Runaway Chronicles, a story about survival, faith, forgiveness and the courage to begin again.
“Courage is fear that has first said its prayers.” -From the film The Space between Us If you are still in the storm, there is hope. And your story is not over.
About Lorna
The Runaway Chronicles My story begins in infancy. I was given up and later adopted into a home shaped by alcoholism. I ran away from the abuse at fourteen searching for safety and freedom. Years later, I found myself facing another painful chapter during a twenty-year marriage marked by emotional struggle and instability. Through faith, reflection and the support of others, I eventually found the courage to step away and begin rebuilding my life. The Runaway Chronicles traces that path-from childhood hardship to adulthood, from fear toward faith, and from survival toward forgiveness, healing and peace. Through this website, I share reflections and writings from that journey while continuing to work on the first book in the series. Today, I am quietly building a life of peace in the woods with my beloved animals. I feel grateful for the long road that led me here. May this website be a harbor in the storm while you regain your footing. May you find hope, encouragement and maybe even friendship here. This website is evolving and my hope is to build a forum for discussion and encouragement. Visit often for glimpses of chapters from The Runaway Chronicles as the journey unfolds. The first small piece of the story,,, (Coming Soon)
The road to healing may be long, but it is always worth the walk.
Resources & Support
Many women live in situations that are difficult to explain to others. From the outside, everything may appear normal. Inside the home, life can feel frightening, confusing and deeply isolating. Abuse doesn’t always leave visible marks. Sometimes it hides behind closed doors polite smiles and silence. This page will gradually include books, organizations, counseling resources, and other tools that may help you navigate difficult relationships. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services or a domestic violence support organization in your area. You deserve safety, support and the opportunity to rebuild your life.
