Victoria Thank you Mr. Conger. It does help clear the question and I understand the answer. I used to work for the Public Defender's office in the felony division and crimes against children were always the most difficult to work on. I would ask my attorneys how can they do it because I surely couldn't and for the most part it's being able to distance yourself and just see something as a case that helps. Kind of how Finn can share details from the Baker case.
I have heard of the Bulger case and frankly I can barely read a summary before crying, I'm just very sensitive to that type of evil and it affects me greatly. That being said I'm glad you can understand my feelings and the novel was wonderfully written. You write with intelligence and despite how hard some parts were to get through I couldn't stop reading until the end. Thank you so much for answering my question.
