Donna M. Kshir discusses her new book, Fallen Star: Author, Activist, Murderer, in which her once-friend was convicted of killing her husband, Richard Lee Bork. The book is part memoir and part true crime.

In the end, one life was destroyed, another shattered forever, and all it took was a series of choices: poor decisions, roaring addiction, unchecked anger, and unhealed trauma. Star's actions were hers alone, and the consequences were absolute: a senseless murder, a family torn apart, a future erased. Yet within this tragedy lies a stark warning: trauma left untreated, addictions unaddressed, uncontrolled anger, jealousy, and emotions unchecked can erupt into irreversible consequences.

PA HB849 Session 2025-2026 is on its way to the House of Representatives, sponsored by PA State Representative Aaron Bernstine. Donna Kshir shares a few words on the journey and gives thanks to those who supported her along the way.
