Unveiling Hidden Secrets: Marty Ross-Dolen’s Quest to Unlock a Daughter’s Haunting Truths
My first writing of this story came in the form of an essay I wrote a few months after attending the fiftieth anniversary memorial event that commemorated the airplane accident that took my grandparents’ lives. Since the gathering took place in December 2010, I see my book as having been fourteen years in the making. Yet after workshopping my essay in a variety of peer writing sessions, and after being told by one wise teacher that he thought I was writing a book, I took an extended break from the project, knowing I needed time and distance before tackling what felt like an overwhelming task.
