Finally, some two decades later, upon discovering that Jane A. had actually written a book about these events, thus committing the "mortal sin" of leaving the Recovery and talking about it. All those mental WL-alarms went off in BP's head.
Question I have, had Benson reconciled with John and Jane, would there had been A Thread of Gold? If you take the approach there was an anguish of heart, how easy it could had been to properly take care of this relationship in Oklahoma City. How easy it could had been to respond to the Andersons request to meet.
There is still time to apologize and be reconciled. There isn't much time left. Pride tends to be fortified with time. I see pride being a obstacle.
