The Mirror's Puppet

A simple investigation into a suicide turns into a "backhoe-load" of a scoop: a library of journals revealing one father's 10-year fight to save his daughter from a system built to keep them apart.

"Once you know what to look for in the game, it's like being able to see the strings on the marionettes; and once you see the strings, you can't go back to a time when you didn't know they were there."

The intro

Doug Granson was his name. Getting the "scoop" was his game.

While investigating a suicide to determine the actual reasons leading up to the deceased's decision, Doug found a journal. Actually, more than one. A library of journals. Those journals detailed precisely why the "victim" had decided his life was not worthy of another breath.

Based on a true story, this series details a nightmare of epic proportions. Nightmares many are facing daily without a light being cast upon the inequities. A form of domestic terrorism encountered by many, but squelched into silence by those performing the acts, will be on display throughout.

The details read like a Hollywoodesque injunction. Sadly, though, the reality is pure Evil has found a lucrative guise to feed the beast. The journals take us on one human's horrifying journey. Ultimately, at the end of the journey, one is left with the thought, "I understand why he did what he did." With that understanding, it is hoped the next step is to take action so others do not have to follow this path.

Content note: The Mirror's Puppet deals with suicide, abuse and a long custody battle. If you're struggling, you can call or text 988 (US) any time to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
