Andrea Robin Skinner, daughter of Alice Munro, speaks out about her stepfather’s sexual abuse

The daughter of acclaimed Canadian author Alice Munro, who died in May, has written about the sexual abuse she endured at the hands of her stepfather and the pain it caused when her mother remained with him.

Andrea Robin Skinner, Ms. Munro’s daughter, wrote in the Toronto Star on Sunday that in the summer of 1976, when she was nine years old, her stepfather Gerald Fremlin “climbed into the bed where I was sleeping and sexually assaulted me.”


Read the Star piece, it’s a good thing Alice doesn’t live here anymore.
