Maurita Corcoran

Wellesley High School Author: Maurita Corcoran (c. 1977)

            Maurita is the author of A House Interrupted, a searing memoir that tells of her passage from pain to forgiveness when confronted with her husband’s betrayal.  Filled with actual journal entries, this first-hand account is aimed to help any spouse or partner who needs to know more about devastating addictive disease.  This engaging memoir proves that women can emerge from the betrayal, anger, and heartache to become authentically peaceful and resilient sources of support to other women.

            Melody Beattie, author of Codependent No More, wrote, “A House Interrupted, a story of extreme betrayal, moves beyond that to become a story of profound healing.  Maurita’s marriage captures the essence of true forgiveness and hope, reminding us that some things only appear beyond repair.”
