"In writing this book, I have gone through a wide range of feelings towards Ted. At times, the intensity of my love for him scared me. When I thought of some of the happy times we shared, I was overwhelmed by the feeling that he should not be in jail. But by the time I finished by my writing, those feelings had turned to outrage that he had coldly, capriciously murdered all those women."
