About this listen

On August 28, 1997, just as she was starting her junior year of college at the University of Kentucky, Holly Dunn and her boyfriend, Chris Maier, were walking along railroad tracks on their way home from a party when they were attacked by notorious serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, a.k.a. The Railroad Killer.

After her boyfriend is beaten to death in front of her, Holly is stabbed, raped, and left for dead. In this memoir of survival and healing from a horrific true crime, Holly recounts how she lived through the vicious assault, helped bring her assailant to justice, and ultimately found meaning and purpose through service to victims of sexual assault and other violent crimes, working as a motivational speaker and activist and founding Holly's House, a safe and nurturing space in her hometown of Evansville, Indiana.

Fabulous recount of a sad but inspirational story.

Told in a very frank but inspiring way Holly’s story is of great horror but also great healing!

A story that had to be told…

Such a compelling story that was hard to read, but also had to be told. Holly truly honored Chris by putting her story in writing. It reminds us that true evil exists in the world but so does resiliency and goodness. May his memory live forever and may this memoir bring Holly peace.

Misprounced Senator Duck Lugar’s name

It would be easy to check on the correct pronunciation of an important persons name
Seems sloppy to me

Solid Book — Remarkable Person

Nothing but respect for all the folks touched by this unspeakable Monster. Solid book, solid performance. A little too much girl stuff when describing room interiors, outfits worn, details of the church, etc… Much appreciated the honesty that came through from the author.

Very inspiring story. Detailed account was good. Would have like more details on the other cases, especially how the detectives worked the other cases that were linked to this crime.
