This #MoralCourageMonday we highlight Composer Charlotte Bray, and her adaptation of American Mother as an opera. American Mother, the Opera, plays in Hagen, Germany, and highlights in dramatic form the moral courage of Diane Foley. As a person of deep faith and strength of character, Diane met with one of her son’s killers to try to understand him and to share who James Foley was as a person.
