GUESTS:

  • Darin Strauss is the author of many books, including the memoir, Half A Life, about life during and after accidentally killing a classmate a few weeks before finishing high school
  • Maryann Gray is a social psychologist and educator. As a result of an accident in which an 8-year-old boy ran in front of her car and was killed, she began Accidental Impacts, a website for those who have accidentally seriously hurt or killed someone.
