"You know, the Lord's been a great comfort to me all these years. Try not to look so surprised. Yeah, I've got a lot to answer for when I meet him, but I'd like to believe that for all the harm I've caused, I've also done some good. Maybe the angels need a sharp sword too."
Three Things
- Amanda Blake grew up in the crime-ridden Cabrini-Green area of Chicago. At the age of 18 she married the 20-year-old Joseph Waller, and they quickly had a large family together. Her first child, Joe Jr., was killed in a mugging. Her second child, Damita, was raped and murdered. Her husband in his pursuit of their daughter's killer was shot dead. Amanda swore that the streets would take no more of her family and put all of herself and her other children through college, earning a political science degree.
