You'll cry, you'll cheer, you'll gasp in disbelief, but you'll be glad Ducasse had the courage to share her story. When reading this story, picture the words coming from a woman plopping down on her bed when she has a moment and pouring out her thoughts on the days' events. The words are pure and sincere.
