Review of Cathy, 16, Mom


This piece is good because it doesn't really hold back. It's pretty raw, and it covers the many different moods of the situation. The tough subject matter wouldn't have been as well-represented if Sarah had taken out the hard-to-listen-to stuff (like the desire to violently shake the children).

Our show used this piece next to an interview about a book that collects one-day diary entries from women across the country. I think they worked well together.
