Jean Wehner, whose story of resilience and courage captivated audiences in "The Keepers," shares the essence of her book, providing listeners with an intimate look at her experiences, struggles, and triumphs. "Walking with Aletheia" is more than a memoir; it's proof of the power of speaking one's truth and the transformative journey of healing from trauma. Jean discusses the process of writing her book, the challenges she faced in revisiting her past, and the liberation she found in narrating her own story.
Her brother joins the conversation, offering his perspective on Jean's journey and the impact of her revelations on their family. He provides insights into the supportive role of family in the healing process and the importance of solidarity when confronting past traumas.
