Murder Victim's Wife Talks About Power of Forgiveness

Katy Hutchison, author of "Walking After Midnight" will be appearing in Elk Valley Communities. Watch this space for dates and times!

In 1997, Katy's husband Bob McIntosh was killed trying to break up a teenagers' house party. The tragedy was widely publicized. Walking After Midnight is not just the story of tragedy, it's Katy's story of how she triumphed, challenged society's expectations around grief and loss, and actually reached out to Bob's killer, Ryan Aldridge. Ryan now participates with Katy in her speaking engagements to teens and other groups about social responsibility, restorative justice and the power of forgiveness.
