Moroney candidly shares the agony and helplessness she felt toward her husband’s assault victims and articulates her painful transition from being a respected professional, homeowner and active community member one day, to being the wife of a sex offender the next. She touches the heart and mind of every audience member with her ultimate choice to forgive, and how she made that choice.
