Featured SelectionsOne of my favorite pieces in our September issue is Erin McReynolds’s essay “And These Too Are Defensive Wounds,” which details the author’s interactions with the courts following her mother’s murder. McReynolds not only testifies in the original trial, but is requested to do so each time the murderer is up for parole—a difficult revisiting of a traumatic experience.
