These stories show the breadth and depth of this reporter’s work. The story on Jill Conley’s cancer battle, part of an ongoing series, is a personal narrative exploring an important health issue. The stories on heroin and babies born withdrawing from drugs explore a significant problem in Kentucky in a human way.
