I will need to sit in some solitude and do some reflection after reading this. This book/series of podcasts will grab any capable reader who has the emotion of empathy. Narcissists and sociopaths may play the game, but the gut-twisting agony felt by this young lady as she finds out her mother was murdered and then quests pretty much alone struggling to find out what happened is heartbreaking. She is extremely brave, strong, and resilient as she never gives up in her pursuit.
Kudos for the courage and I wish her continued success. I also congratulate her on the massive accomplishment she made not in the progress in her case, but in opening up the opportunity for others to be heard. A remarkable young lady who made a difference out of an awful situation.
