Blog post by Kim Gallagher 9/22/14: Milk Cartons When Yeardley Love died two months later at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, I watched the distance disappear entirely as the horror descended on our breakfast table, taking away our breath and every ounce of our innocence.

Her story took over every conversation, coaches’ talks at practice, and the modern-day version of the milk carton: television and social media.
