Chris Quinn

CHRIS QUINN initially started this as a self help book for women of domestic abuse and sexual assault and it evolved into her autobiography instead. She was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 23rd, Thanksgiving Day in 1961 and her famil then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of three. Her father, Roy Woolley, a maintenance mechanic for S.E.P.T.A (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), and her mother, Grace (nee Robinson), the Community School Coordinator for Richmond School in Port Richmond, as well as a Special Education teacher at Frankford High School, gave their children a charmed childhood. She spent her summers at their vacation home in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and they kept their family home in Atlantic City since her grandfather built it, and her birthplace made it sentimental. She spent winters in their vacation home in the Pocono Mountains, where she began skiing at the age of two. Her primary residence was in Port Richmond, a small neighborhood, tucked away off the northeastern Pennsylvania I-95 corridor which is where she grew up and held her primary residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A high school graduate, she received her diploma from John W. Hallahan, All Catholic High School for Girls located in center city, Philadelphia. She has strong ties to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania in the Lake Harmony area and is an avid skier.
