I think this piece is great. The fact that we get to be in the middle of their conversation, or rather their argument. I think the way she sets up the piece is also really refreshing. The back story is essential but not distracting, in that it happens so quick and she introduces what the piece is going to do in the present time. "I'm sitting here looking...." And the reality of someone who is going through such hurt that they can't forgive yet is something that we don't hear that often. It's a complicated reaction to a complicated situation. But their relationship, though strained, isn't dead, and that is also totally expressed in the piece. Very inspiring radio in content and form.
