When it comes to children, mothers are considered their north star. No matter how old that child gets when times get hard or the waters get rough, that child will always look to their mother to guide them to a safe place. But what happens when your mother is no longer there? What makes matters even worse, what do you do when the person who took your mother … is your father, the one sworn to protect her? “Something has happened to her. She’s either locked away in a shed somewhere or he’s killed her.” (8:07), Collier

My guest today is Collier Landry. Collier has an amazing story of resilience and perseverance that will inspire you no matter what stage of life you’re in.

He reveals this amazing story in the 2017 film, A Murder In Mansfield. Today, Collier discusses how he made it through this turbulent time and how others can find a light at the end of any dark tunnel. “The grass is always greener on the other side, but that doesn’t make it true.” – (49:59), Collier
