Anyway, Piedmont has a very small-town vibe and I feel that this story may/will haunt this woman and her daughters in the town (and their schools) for many years to come. I was wondering if anyone else on here familiar with the Bay Area had thoughts on this.

I am and also wondered how many people might know her.
However, I never felt it might be an issue for her or her daughters. To me, her article seemed more like a personal confession of sorts. Perhaps a first and important step in her healing process. As the saying goes, admitting you have a problem is half the battle. In any case, I would hope that she had the sense to set down with her daughters, her family, and her friends and let them know that the article was going to be published. And perhaps include in their discussion her reasons why she felt she needed to "go public" as it were.
