During the final meeting of a new grief support group for women incarcerated at the Minnesota Correctional Facility - Shakopee, Sara Brown had good news to share. Her recent effort to reconnect with her daughter has been going well. 'I've been on the fence about whether or not my daughter was going to talk to me. I've talked to her every day since last week,' she told the group. Brown lost parental rights to her oldest daughter and son 13 years ago amid a struggle with addiction. Danielle Westman writes her children's names behind her name tag as a symbol of her commitment to their relationship.
