Episode 68 - The Survival Story of Jessica Frank Vega & The West Gate Bridge Collapse
In this episode, Amber covers the survival story of Jessica Frank Vega. Jessica had already survived an abusive childhood and was doing well raising her daughter, Victoria and attending college. That is when she met Kirk Levin. Jessica knew that Kirk had a troubled past, but she believed he was a good person who was trying to turn his life around. That was until Kirk showed up at her house in the middle of the night unexpected and uninvited.
Amber was drinking the Field Blend (Red) by Hook and Crook Cellars, and it was delish!

Erika was drinking the Aromatic White Wine again from Eufloria, and yet again it was good!
