Meet Lynn Forney: She loves to be creative, go to theme parks, and Scuba Dive.
She has a big heart and loves animals, playing with toddlers, and tries her best with houseplants.
She's been told her distinguishable laugh is contagious, and knows that without the dark, there can be no light
This story, Lynn’s story, is not an easy one to tell. It has not been an easy one to live. By 21, She had already had her fair share of struggles. Clinical depression often hid behind her smile, but, deep down, she never lost hope. Not really. As she began to heal and find her place in the world, something unthinkable happened.
When home on a break from college, Lynn Forney awoke to a man, a stranger, in her bed. Then he stabbed her. Seven times.
She lost 21 pints of blood. Statistically, she should not have survived. And if that wasn’t enough, she was victim-blamed and -shamed by the investigating police, hospital staff, family and friends, and even strangers.
Now, she’s telling her amazing story of survival: candidly, honestly, courageously. Hoping that in doing so, she will help others do the same.
Her book, "Choosing Survival: How I Endured a Brutal Attack and a Lifetime of Trauma Through the Power of Action, Choice and Self-Expression," details her attack, her miraculous and difficult recovery, and tips for anyone overcoming trauma or struggle.
Lynn is a dancer and actor. She has also written, produced, directed, and starred in two short films, one of which is getting ready to enter the film festival circuit. She still pursues all of these interests and looks forward to combining these skills with her passion for healing through the arts.
