Today, Governor Pete Ricketts released the thirteenth episode of "The Nebraska Way" featuring writer and inspirational speaker Ashley Stevens. During this episode, Ashley discusses her faith, turning tragedy into hope, and the age-old question of "why bad things happen to good people."

She married her husband Brad on the one-year anniversary of the accident, turning a tragic day into the happiest day of their lives. She currently writes to encourage those whose life isn't going according to plan. You can find her writings and more on her website MountainsUnmoved.com.
