126. Derrick Hurley & Kaitlin Hurley-Fields; Part 2: Holding Nothing Back—The Story of Kaitlin's Rape

I want to share with you, again, the opening paragraph from Derrick Hurley's website about the book he wrote: Antiguan Justice: A Father's Fight… it's important and powerful enough that it bears making sure you read it to emphasize the importance of not only the family's stirring struggle to survive Kailin's horrific rape, but also the extent that a loving father will go to help bring justice to his daughter: Derrick Hurley, a devoted father, found himself in a heart-wrenching battle when his daughter, Kaitlin Hurley, fell victim to a harrowing crime in 2015. Kaitlin, a nursing student living in Antigua, endured a traumatic experience at the hands of a London police officer, Lee Martin-Cramp, who was visiting the island with his family. In his gripping and emotionally charged 220-page book, "Antiguan Justice: A Father's Fight," Derrick Hurley bares his soul, recounting the extraordinary odyssey he embarked upon when his daughter became the tragic victim of a heinous crime. (https://derrick-hurley.com/) This episode is fascinating because it not only features Derrick's ongoing struggle to get his daughter's perpetrator extradited back to Antigua from England, but also Kaitlin's personal story of a big portion of her healing process. The importance of her struggle can't be overstated. Kaitlin gives her formidable and crucially important insights on her healing journey. I think the reason this portion of the episode is so powerful is because Kaitlin tells it in such a way that it makes you captivatingly aware of her raw strength and determination in pushing toward normalizing the conversation and her life. Truly, Kaitlin is the archetype of courage. Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, then give it a five-star rating.
