In
January 2001, physician and writer, Therese Zink, lived through a
traumatic experience: While on an international aid mission in
Chechnya, her boss was kidnapped. "That experience got me writing,"
Therese says. "I'd kept a journal since a creative-writing class in
high school twenty-some years earlier and dabbled at times with more
creative efforts. But after the kidnapping, I had to write."
Little did she know how long it would take her to learn to write and to tell that story.
