Ina Garten Reveals Childhood Trauma in Upcoming Memoir

The Food Network star opens up about enduring physical and emotional abuse from her parents for the first time.

Garten describes her fear of her father, who was physically abusive throughout her childhood.
She spent much of her early years isolated in her bedroom to protect herself from potential violence.
Her relationship with her mother was also strained, marked by psychological control and lack of support.
Garten credits her husband, Jeffrey, with helping her overcome her difficult past and showing her a different way to live.
Her memoir, 'Be Ready When the Luck Happens,' will be published on October 1.
