Interview with Jocelyne Mauferon on Radio Attitude, Angoulême
We spent so many years keeping words inside us to protect Kevin, to protect him from others, from society. With this book, we will be able to free ourselves, to empty ourselves by saying what happened, by talking about the joys and pains of all three of us, by recounting our lives, what was beautiful and what was less beautiful. We only have the two of us to spare, so we will empty our hearts in the name of our son, who would have been proud to have a book dedicated to him.
