Leanne Wolfe, an 18-year-old schoolgirl in Cork, Ireland, committed suicide in March, 2007. On the morning of her funeral, her older sister Treena discovered Leanne's diaries.
As she began to read, she learned –- to her horror -– that her sister had been actively bullied over a five-year period. Leanne's story is told through her diaries and through shared memories of the Wolfe family.
The Diary of Leanne Wolfe won the Radio Impact Award in the 2008 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition. The story was produced with Peter Woods.
