What happens when doing the right thing comes at a deeply personal cost?
Author Becca Moore joins Books That Make You to discuss her memoir, Angel on a Bridge, a story shaped by childhood trauma, family sacrifice, public criticism, and the courage to stand beside young people who need an advocate.
Becca reflects on being adopted by her aunt and uncle at age nine after growing up in an abusive home. That experience changed the direction of her life and taught her that love often requires sacrifice. Years later, that lesson returned when she and her husband were asked to take custody of Thayer Munford, a talented student-athlete facing academic struggles and an unsafe living situation.
Their decision led to court proceedings, media attention, and accusations that questioned their motives. Becca explains why she continued fighting, even when public opinion became harsh, and why she believes success should be measured by far more than athletic achievement.
The conversation also explores mentorship, social media criticism, racial assumptions, the pressures placed on young athletes, and the responsibility adults have to see the person beyond the uniform. Becca shares how writing Angel on a Bridge helped her revisit painful memories, honor the women who changed her life, and recognize the lasting impact of offering someone a safe path forward.
This is a candid conversation about resilience, advocacy, family, and the people who help us cross the bridges we cannot cross alone.
