Five Star Titan Review

4.8 out of 5 rated, 87 reviews on Amazon

I didn't murder Adam. I survived an abusive marriage, broke away from a misogynistic religious group, and enrolled in nursing school to better provide and care for my disabled son Adam and his older sister Anne. When Adam died, I believed his death was a result of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, the genetic anomaly with which he was born, a bad infection, and complications of CPR. I didn't conspire with anyone to hide the truth. I don't tell lies. I was supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. It didn't work that way for me; I couldn't prove I was innocent.

From Miracle to Murder is not an essay into court or investigative procedures. Instead, listeners are invited into my life. I want them to see what I saw, thought, heard, and felt as I say my last goodbye to my son and when I am formally charged. Experience what I do when I am pushed to the edge of insanity, adjust, acquire the skills to survive, and then create a different normal as I forgive and find joy again. It covers the entirety of my son's life, and four decades of mine.

From Miracle to Murder: Justice for Adam is for anyone who believes in the presumption of innocent until proven guilty. It is my hope that readers will walk away from Miracle with a greater faith that they can survive the impossible, forgive the unforgivable, learn how not to become a victim, and believe in the importance of creating moments of clarity in the midst of chaos.

God bless this woman and family

Amazing story of triumph over devastation. Great historical reference of how women have been mistreated, unappreciated and had to fight for their civil rights (which they didn't use to have at all). This woman is my hero!
