520    The author describes the life-altering tragedy she 
       experienced as a teen, when her cousin was murdered in a 
       robbery gone wrong and explains why she needed to meet one
       of the killers thirty years later at his parole hearing. 
520    As a teenager, Johnson lived in Queens with her family; 
       her popular, cool cousin Karen in the Bronx. Her father 
       was a highly protective, at times overbearing, parole 
       officer; her uncle, Karen's dad, was a homicide detective.
       When Karen was shot and killed in a robbery gone wrong at 
       the Burger King where she worked, the subsequent trials 
       and media circus marked the end of Elle's childhood 
       innocence. Thirty years later, living in Los Angeles and 
       working as a television writer, Johnson learned one of 
       Karen's killers was eligible for parole, and her older 
       brother asked Elle to write a letter to the parole board 
       arguing against his release. Here she with honesty what 
       parents can and cannot do to protect their children, the 
       reverberations of violence on survivors' lives, and the 
       overwhelming power of forgiveness, even in the face of 
       unspeakable tragedy.
