podcast is an exclusive conversation with the author recorded October 7th,
2006 in Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada.About the Book:On New Year’s Eve in 1997, Bob McIntosh was murdered
while trying to break up a teenagers’ party at a friend’s house. His wife, Katy,
was left a widow with four-year-old twins. In the midst of her grief, and with
remarkable courage and grace, Katy began an amazing journey of forgiveness. She
recognized the need to educate teens about the risks arising from the
combination of youth, alcohol and lack of supervision. She began speaking to
schools and other groups about social responsibility, restorative justice and
the transformative power of forgiveness.Katy waited for five years while the police uncovered and
convicted Bob’s killers. Ryan Aldridge was charged with Bob’s murder in 2002.
Astoundingly, Katy reached out to Ryan, and they have since forged a powerful
and unique relationship. Ryan has now joined Katy in her speaking engagements,
and Katy supported his recent successful appeal for early parole.Walking After Midnight is the extraordinary story
of a life interrupted by unthinkable tragedy, and of Katy’s commitment to
turning the horror into a transformative gift. It offers a means for all of us
to embrace fully the concepts of forgiveness and restorative justice..............The podcast runs
