Make Someday Today

Chris Quinn initially started this as a self-help book for women of domestic abuse and sexual assault, but it evolved into her autobiography. She was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on November 23rd, Thanksgiving Day in 1961, and her family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the age of three. Her father, Roy Woolley, was a maintenance mechanic for S.E.P.T.A (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), and her mother, Grace (nee Robinson), was the Community School Coordinator for Richmond School in Port Richmond, as well as a Special Education teacher at Frankford High School. They 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, making her birthplace 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, 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.
