With India Eisley constantly reminding them of their departed mother, it must be a difficult experience for them to watch the show. The Hodel sisters’ however, seem to realize well the social importance of I am the Night.

Rasha Pecoraro writes,

“My sister Yvette and I have done dozens of interviews.Yvette and I are honored to bring Mom’s compelling story to life, but if there was a magic wand to bring her back to life in exchange for taking all of this fame and notoriety away, I would do everything in my power to make it happen. As exciting as all of this is, it still breaks my heart that she is not physically here with us. I hope people remember that when they are saying hurtful things about us, or our family. I just pray that people learn to live with LOVE, the way our Mom did every single day. Putting yourself out there for the world to see takes a lot of courage, but it also opens Pandora’s Box, and the world can be evil at times. I am hoping that I can do my best to live a life of ALOHA despite any evil that may come our way. I hope the rest of the world can (and will) do the same. Mahalo for coming on this journey with all of us. “
