When Heidi Ramer’s mother died in 2001, she left behind 15 years of journals detailing repeated sexual trauma and emotional torment from someone who had been a colleague. In a 1987 entry, Karen Doudt said that if she were to die, she wanted her story to be shared. As she read those journals, Ramer knew that it would be her honor to use her own voice and her mother’s words to do so. The 1993 Manchester graduate and author will return Thursday, April 20 to share their story. The program is 7 p.m. in Petersime Chapel.
