In this week’s podcast, Abby Maslin, who lived in the Helderberg Hilltowns as a girl, talks about her recently published book, “Love You Hard.” Her husband was mugged and left for dead in August 2012 and her book tells the story of their sustained and ongoing fight for his recovery and her transformation because of it. “Love is fluid. It is fire. It runs through us and sometimes it burns,” she writes. She also writes, “To survive, we must simply live. To love, we must love hard.”
