***while this episode does not contain explicit language, there are hard things discussed in this episode. the words "sexual abuse" & "sexual assault" are used in this episode, so either put in some earbuds, or be prepared to have a heart-to-heart with your tweens/teens (which is always a good thing right?!)

my uncle, who you'll proably come to adore as much as i do, is named richard beach. he is still a goldsmith, but thankfully, no longer an employee at sierra west jewelers. instead, you can find him at forge jewelry, which is also located in orem, utah.
