Together, they talk about the power of story, and how Alice used her platform with the New Yorker to share the untold journeys of many afflicted by the consequences of a serious accident with fatality. Alice's work brought many who had been suffering in silence together and opened the dialogue world-wide about this difficult and necessary conversation. During today's interview, Alice acknowledges the change in Jennifer's communication and perspective since that first conversation several years ago. Jennifer remains grateful to Alice for opening the door, knowing that the ashes of shame and sorrow she suffered are being transformed into a beautiful testimony of grace, hope and peace that she continues to share with the world.
