"Andrea cried countless tears over the hard feelings she caused the Chicks. Time passed, but the weight of sadness and regret never diminished. She felt devastated to know that she made a fellow mother feel that way. Her only comfort was that she might inspire others to say, “I don’t want to be like that,” and choose a different path from the one she chose.

After being haunted by the “ugly” reflection of herself on the screen, Andrea vowed to set a positive example for her son that taught him to never judge, always accept others and treat people with respect. She invested a lot of time in becoming more aware of the world and learning to think for herself. In the ensuing months, she came to believe that the act of dissenting is as American as waving the flag. Above all, she no longer acted like a sheep.

For many months, there remained one task for Andrea that she could not accomplish: apologizing to the Dixie Chicks. She didn’t have an address for them, so she attempted to contact Oprah, NPR and other media outlets. Nobody would give her the platform to apologize."
