This special episode is not the story of a twisted perpetrator and the carnage he caused. Perfect for the holiday season, this compelling conversation features Jill welcoming survivor and author Mark Gray.  October 1, 2017, Mark was a journalist covering the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert when shots rang out from the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. In Jill's review of The Las Vegas Massacre CONNECTIONS: Finding Strength Through Tragedy After America's Deadliest Mass Shooting, she noted that it "presents an inspiring portrait of survival after horrific loss, focusing on the victims, survivors, and their families and friends, as well as the connections that bind them together on a journey to recover and renew. These genuine, raw, and personal accounts reflect the resilience and healing that can emerge amidst the pain of grief when a loved one is lost. This inspiring and altruistic work showcases the best of humanity arising from the worst of circumstances. I encourage you all to read "The Las Vegas Massacre Connections." This book would make a marvelous holiday gift for anyone who enjoys true crime, memoirs, and even self-help.
