The Voice Beneath the Dirt: My Husband Thought No One Could Hear What He Did
<strong>PART 15: THE STORY SHE WILL HEAR</strong>
People have asked whether I forgive Garrett, Loretta, or Delia.
I used to spend hours imagining what I should say to them if I ever had another chance.
Now I rarely think about the question.
Forgiveness, if it ever comes, will be mine to decide.
It is not the price of moving forward.
Sometimes I sit on our back porch with Josephine asleep against me.
The boards creak when the wind moves through the pear tree.
