When I came across Jessica (Jessi) Pelley’s story of survival I was moved by how she kept fighting for a way to be set free. Jessica lost her mother, step-father and 2 sisters in a quadruple homicide at the age of 9. It would be years until Jessi would find out who committed such a horrible crime and why it went unsolved for so long!

I’ve been hosting Girl Talk y Más Podcast for empowering women for 3 years now by interviewing guests of all backgrounds to share their journey. Once I came across Jessi’s story I knew that this was an important story to share. Survival is an everyday battle when it comes from a tragic place.  My co-host Anali and I had the opportunity to sit down with Jessi and her cousin Jamie who is the author of her memoir to talk about the journey of dealing with this tragic event and what led them to write their own book about the Jessi’s story.
