Andrea Robin Skinner, the youngest daughter of Nobel Prize-winning Canadian author Alice Munro, has said her stepfather sexually abused her and that her mother chose to support her husband instead of her child. Skinner said she opted to tell her story in a first-person essay in the Toronto Star to give Canadians a more nuanced picture of Munro.
