What if twenty days after your daughter graduated from college you got a call from a detective, asking if they could meet with you? Author, speaker, and activist, Bill Mitchell, met with that detective and got the news that every parent dreads, that his twenty-two-year-old daughter, Kristin, had been murdered by her ex-boyfriend. But what would you do if after you’d written her eulogy, after the funeral, after her killer was sentenced and imprisoned, the agony of her absence was still the most present thing in your life? Would shut the world out and do everything you could to keep the rest of your family safe? Or would you and your wife hit the road and go to high schools and colleges everywhere, alerting others to the warning signs of dating violence?
