Argyle Park

I was touched by the honesty of the writing, the pain, and ultimately the healing of Ms. Walker. If anything, I found myself walking with her and wanting more than the glimpse that was sometimes offered. I work in mental health and have experienced, second hand, the devastation left after a loved one suicides. Kudos to Ms. Walker for sharing her life with others.
