“I struggled with this a lot but I cannot tell you now how grateful, and how happy that I am that I finished it, that I told the truth — and I just felt like, when I would struggle I would think ‘I want my mom to have a voice. I want my oldest sister to have a voice, because she was the one who was treated so badly. I want Virgie, my nanny, to have her voice.'”
