Pati Poblete is a longtime Bay Area journalist and has used her writing talent to relate a devastating story--the murder of her 23 year old son, Robby, 4 years ago, and her journey of healing. A Better Place--A Memoir of Peace in the Face of Tragedy is a raw and honest recounting of the tragedy and is balanced with the portrayal of Robby's deep engagement in, and love of life! Pati knows that we each have our own journey of healing but her expression of her path is sure to share ideas with others dealing with tragedy and loss--including a gun buy back program and 'transforming' them into forms of art. www.robbypobletefoundation.org
