Search - For Laci : A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Justice

Such a heartbreaking story. I'm not sure why I was so compelled to read this book, except that, like everyone else, I was so drawn in by Laci's beautiful smile . . . and the outrage that ANYONE could kill someone so beautiful, both inside & out . . . and the baby she was carrying as well. That the murderer was her husband is incomprehensible. Her mother shares the story of Laci's life and the trauma of those horrible months not knowing what had happened to her. Quite literally, I didn't want to read it, but then I couldn't NOT read it, if that makes sense.

Now that I'm finished reading it, I'm so glad I did. My mother's heart aches for Sharon and her loss . . . but I thank her for sharing her story. I pray God helps her find peace.

Grab the kleenex, You will need them when you read this one. Sharon Rocha shares her heartache, her confusion, her anger and her true feelings about Scott Peterson before & after Laci's murder. I laughed at her light hearted wit and cried with her heart-wrenching pain.

Have tissues ready when you read this. You really get to know the real Laci Rocha. I have read this book 3 times.

This book was well written and heartbreaking. Laci's death was a compelling and sensational news story when it hit the media. The country was in shock that a husband could kill his gorgeous pregnant wife. This book will help you get to know the real Laci Rocha Peterson. Getting to know this family from Sharon's perspective will drive home the true evil of what Scott Peterson did. Even though I knew the outcome, I was compelled to keep reading. Sharon Rocha's pain and loss is searing, but Laci's light shines through in this tragic book about one mother's very personal loss.

Hard book to read since I'm a mom and cannot even imagine what this woman went through. Also because it happened so near to where I live and I knew some of the people involved in helping in the search. I am so sad for this poor mother and for Laci and Conner. It's good to see some justice in this world although no amount of justice will ever replace Sharon Rocha's loved ones.

This story moved me to tears several times. Sharon Rocha explains a mother's love and grief with raw, powerful emotion.
