Finding inspiration from a mom's resilience

Kiera Robinson was only ten when the cops came and arrested her adolescent brothers.  Despite the traumatic experience of a police raid, Kiera's mother soldiered on - she attended to her other children and strove to keep a feeling of relative normalcy. For Kiera, the love and constancy her mother brings - in the most troubled times - is the definition of strength. "When she bounces back from hardship, she always manages to bring me back with her." Hear Kiera's perspective on Youth Radio.
