None of us are all good and none of us are all bad. Like my mom said. All I wanted to do was label the sheriff a murderer and get on with my life, but he didn’t actually kill Mom, you know? And I keep thinking about what Noah told me, that Sheriff McGhee cried after hitting him. That’s gotta mean some little speck of soul is still left in there somewhere. And even Jeremy, who went to court, he could’ve lied about his dad’s abuse, but he didn’t. He told the truth. And that’s what helped Noah’s mom win her case.
