Anatomy of Murder
The book was introduced when Ashley explained that her blog about personal loss and healing was turned into a book after her grandmother printed each story for friends. The discussion highlighted its purpose to help people coping with grief, widowhood, infidelity and homicide, and praised Ashley’s ability to endure, find love again, and advocate forgiveness. The hosts expressed strong approval of its supportive message.
Episode: Something to Fix (Emmett Corrigan)
This was mentioned as a blog Ashley created about her personal journey of loss and healing, which she later turned into a book because her grandmother was printing off every story to send to her friends. The book aims to support those dealing with grief, loss, and trauma, especially related to widowhood, surviving infidelity, and homicide.
On March 13th, 2011, investigators from Meridian Police sat down with Rob Hall... And so he was placed into custody, charged with the murder of Emmett Corrigan, and then transported to the county jail. A traveling judge offered bail, and his mom paid it, and he ended up getting out of jail like 28 days later.
And so what the theory is, is they had time to kind of plan out a new story of what happened. And that's kind of the story she brought to court.
I was so impressed how Ashley was able to endure, find love once again, and raising her now seven children while advocating for others on how to forgive and find a way forward.
And when I turned it into a book, it was mainly because my grandma was printing off every story that I wrote and sending it to all of her friends.
