For years after Sy Snarr’s son Zach was killed, she clung to the rage and hate she felt for his murderer. Even as that anger dimmed her life energy, the idea of forgiveness felt like betraying Zach’s memory. But a surprise letter from prison changed everything. Sy tells Claire how forgiveness has changed her life and how her family’s story was documented in the new podcast The Letter.
