Dr. Rhonda D. Murray is a healthcare executive whose work reflects a lifelong commitment to systems that serve people with dignity, competence, and care. Her leadership perspective is grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience.
As a survivor and advocate, she writes about family systems, childhood sexual abuse, and healing with honesty. Her book reflects the courage required to break silence, tell the truth, and protect future generations.
Born two months early in Philadelphia and given little chance of survival, she defied every prediction doctors made. That early fight for life became the resilience she would carry through years and family challenges that followed.
When her parents’ marriage ended, she and her brother moved to Los Angeles to live with their grandmother, a retired nurse. In that quieter, steadier household she finally experienced what safety and calm could feel like.
That same instinct for order and care shaped her professional life. Rhonda built a career as a healthcare executive, learning firsthand how systems either protect the people inside them or, just as easily, fail them completely.
Years later, guided by a trauma trained therapist, she found the words for what had happened to her as a child. Writing It Happened to Us All became her way of turning that hard won truth into advocacy.
