Letter: Katie Beers defines courage

It had to be quite a hurdle, 20 years later, for Katie Beers to find the courage to talk about a very bad experience, especially when it occurred at the young age of 9 ["Embracing her ordeal," News, Jan. 16].
I'm sure it has been a very emotional healing process. I'm glad to hear that Beers is OK, has two beautiful children and seems well-adjusted. I believe that she will definitely know when the time is right to tell her children what she endured back then.
Resilience comes in all kinds of packages.
