Miss America By Day is the powerful, 563-page autobiography of Marilyn Van Derbur, a woman who, once crowned Miss America, and was finally at age 53 able to say to the public, "I am an incest survivor." Sexually abused by her father from age 5 to 18, the scars of her maltreatment haunted her for years. Marilyn Van Derbur's personal story is one of seeking peace, working hard to achieve lasting love, and a cautioning of society against the depredations of the most vile types of human predators. Miss America By Day won the first place in the Writer's Digest national competition in the "Most Inspiration Book" catagory and is a very highly recommended addition to Women's Studies, Human Sexuality Studies, and Contemporary American Biography supplemental reading lists as well as academic and public library collections.
