Sarah Perry: 本书的写作过程充满挑战，她需要克服对母亲的理想化回忆，以及对重温痛苦记忆的恐惧。她通过与母亲家人朋友的访谈和案卷资料，对母亲有了更全面的了解，发现母亲既有严谨认真的一面，也有活泼开朗的一面。她还反思了母亲在养育她方面体现出的智慧和开明，特别是母亲对同性恋的开明态度让她印象深刻。她认为母亲的死让她一度放弃了写作，直到研究生阶段才重新拾起，并最终完成了这本回忆录。她还详细描述了母亲被杀害的夜晚，但努力用冷静客观的语言来叙述，避免煽情。她认为案件调查中存在的受害者指责现象，以及日常生活中性别歧视对案件调查的影响，都值得反思。她还谈到了凶手Michael Hutchinson，以及对凶手作案动机的思考。她最终通过DNA比对破获，这让她感到欣慰。她希望人们能够像她的母亲一样，乐于助人，即使存在风险。 Kylie Lowe: 本播客旨在为受害者家庭提供一个平台，让他们完整地讲述自己的故事。Sarah的故事揭示了日常生活中性别歧视对案件调查的影响，以及司法系统中存在的不足。她呼吁人们批判性地看待犯罪题材的娱乐节目，并记住受害者都是真实存在的人。她还鼓励人们去更好地了解自己的父母。
