"When Melody Horrill began communications at the University of South Australia she was a troubled and lost young woman, hiding behind a carefully crafted exterior. She had experienced a lifetime of emotional and physical trauma mainly at the hands of violent father. Even after she and her mother escaped, he continued his campaign of abuse even as his family tried to hide from him. When Melody was in her teens, he stabbed her mother in the face and then tried to take his own life by cutting his throat. He'd been jailed for the savage attack.
