REGINA LAFRANCE has come a long way since leaving her native small village in Southwestern Europe. A place she called home until tragedy struck. Drawing from her direct experience, her semi-autobiographical novel, Shayla, is a depiction of the events that happened when she was violently hurt as a young girl by a pedophile priest in her village. Her tell-all book further speaks to the deep-seated wounds and trauma that have followed into her adult life while striving to reinvent herself and find healing.

Shayla is LaFrance’s sharing and ultimate hope for others who have been molested and suffered from abuse. Passionate about resolving this issue, LaFrance has made it her ongoing effort to prevent the unthinkable from happening to more innocent children. She resides in North Carolina with her husband, Dan, a retired fire lieutenant. Both are transplants from Boston, where they met.
