| Abstract: | SUMMARY This autobiographical piece chronicles the kidnap and subsequent murder of the author's youngest daughter during a camping vacation in Montana and the author's spiritual journey from hate to healing. Once the case was resolved, Jaeger Lane relates the impact of this event as a speaking/writing ministry evolved around the issues of forgiveness, reconciliation and advocating for the abolition of the death penalty as a person of faith and as the mother of a murder victim. She ends with her experience of seeing first-hand the success of utilizing restorative justice principles in the rehabilitation of errants and addicts. |
