My young friend Paloma, a brave woman, just bought her wedding dress, which she will soon wear to marry the love of her life. She was at the fringe, or the center, of the ensuing unpleasantness that severed my life from m., and I appreciate her abiding courage in what she did, not to be discussed here. May her marriage be forever blessed. They are a sweet couple.
I myself do not think of marriage, focusing my attentions on my little girl, improving my health, and pouring my heart and soul into this book, determined to bring it to light. I am, in some ways, married to it!
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
