Allison: I learned something new actually. It's helped me a lot. It's something called the "Maktub." A nurse told me about it. It's about acceptance.
Bill: Acceptance of what?
Allison: Your fate. It's helping me to stop struggling so much. Stop questioning everything. You just embrace your fate and learn to live in peace with it. It's a Muslim idea. It's about - letting go of all of that - shame - and guilt that pushes you down - and keeps you down - and makes you feel so powerless. And that's how I felt for a really long time. Powerless and forgotten. And - that makes living really hard. You know what I mean?
Bill: But you're innocent. So we got to keep fighting.
Allison: It doesn't matter that I'm innocent, Dad. It's not about justice, Dad. It's about finding peace
