Imagine if the sound of footsteps made you fear for your life. It’s a feeling that author Karen Stefano suffered from for more than 30 years.
“When I go out on my runs, I’m very conscious of anybody running behind me and the sound of feet slapping concrete,” Stefano said. “Sometimes, I want to pat myself on the back about how I cope, but then I go through episodes where I think, ‘I haven’t grown at all. I haven’t gotten over this."’
