It’s fair to say that while Dorice was the first story I ever told, it was my very first conversation with Kimberly Boone that truly changed the course of my working life.
I first spoke with Kim almost three years ago. At the time, she was working as a law clerk inside prison, helping Dorice with her case and fighting to get her back into court. That was Kim’s job — to assist the women around her, helping them fight their own legal battles and, hopefully, find a path home.
But what about her own situation?
For all the skill she had in helping others, Kim seemed unable to do anything about her own case. And it was heartbreaking.
It’s now been nearly three years since Kim and I last spoke on the phone, and in that time, a lot has happened — from personal loss and multiple moves to her own serious health battle
.
Recently, Kim reached out and said she felt ready to come back on the show and share what’s been happening in her life.
