Could My Mom Have Murdered Someone?

Surviving the Unthinkable to Build a Life of My Own

A True Crime & Survival Memoir by Dori Mournahan

Visceral, unsparing memoir of psychological survival.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE STORY

About the Author

Dori Mournahan, author of Could My Mom Have Murdered Someone?

Dori Mournahan

A mother, grandmother, and survivor. After a childhood spent learning the art of being invisible, she built the opposite: a joyful, fiercely independent life on an off-grid homestead in Washington's Okanogan country, where she lives with her husband, a sprawling companion garden, a flock of chickens, three goats, and a rooster named Obi One.

She holds a master's degree in psychology and spent years as a counselor before choosing to pour her hard-won understanding of trauma into her own healing โ€” and into handcrafted skincare and vibrant splatter art through the businesses she builds with her family.

Could My Mom Have Murdered Someone? is her first book. She wrote it for everyone still waiting for a savior โ€” as proof that you can become your own.
