What has changed over the past 20 years such that you want to reveal the truth about your parents and home life, whereas you did not before? I have taught your brother's story to many English classes over the years, and we discuss inherent bias in the various sources that tell his story---Into the Wild in its book and movie forms obviously, but also the letters you and your sisters posted on his website, among other articles/blogs, etc. What can I tell my students is your motivation for writing this book now? Thank you for being so accessible. It is wonderful to be able to interact with a story in real time as opposed to something being an untouchable piece of literature.

Thanks for the thorough response Carine! I can't wait to show my students what you said. Many of them have wanted to post on your Facebook page but were too shy. In regard to the continuing education that your brother's story will provide, myself and my fellow teachers truly appreciate your online presence and the way you have acted as a spokesperson for Chris and the various issues surrounding his death and your personal experiences. - Alana
