We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on.
And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened.
