I haven’t read every letter in Mary-Louise Parker’s new memoir Dear Mr. You, but I did skim all 34 of them in my hunt for a story about one particular person from her life.

Welcome back, Lorena Bobbitt! The woman who, in 1993, took a kitchen knife to her husband’s tallywacker has at long last reentered the public sphere. Today she joined Steve Harvey on his show to discuss her life since the trial, her acquittal, and remarriage.
