You know Some people out there Amy really don’t understand violence. Their lives are clean. The girl who wrote the review in the Daily Camera probably is one of those people. I’m glad for her. But sad to.
I think sometimes people need to know the reality. It sounds like you accomplished that in the book (note from Amy: he’s referring to the book, Diary of a Predator: A Memoir).
Maybe carrying that character from the book will make her more self aware in a good way.

Hi Amy & Brent:
The line from the article you linked that reads “when Herdy gives the perpetrator a voice, it feels wrong” is what is so wrong. If we don’t listen to what violent people say, how the hell are we ever gonna fix the problem? Seems like a no-brainer, but the dominant euro-christian culture is hellbent on the cancers of judgment/shame/blame and as long as that’s where the energy goes, change will not happen.
Sincerely,
Natasha
