Kelly, this was such a thoughtful piece. To Kill a Mockingbird shaped me too—it opened my eyes early on to justice, courage, and the cost of doing what’s right.

It’s incredibly admirable that you felt compelled to carry that into your own work, especially in working with death row prisoners. That kind of calling is rare and although you have transitioned to being a SAHM, I can feel how tender this topic is for you. Thank you for sharing your heart and your story here.

What an interesting life you have had! Truly enjoyed reading this and appreciate the reminder to appreciate one’s neighbors, something I personally struggle with.

Thank you!! Truly, I have been very lucky. I felt a "calling" to work with death row prisoners for years before I ever attended law school and was very fortunate to attend a program - and later work at a firm - where I could do so.
