Book Description:

What happens if, after being given up for adoption in childhood, you reestablish contact with your biological family -- only to discover that your newfound brother is a killer?

Anne Bird, the sister of Scott Peterson, knows firsthand.

Soon after her birth in 1965, Anne was given up for adoption by her mother, Jackie Latham. Welcomed into the well-adjusted Grady family, she lived a happy life. Then, in the late 1990s, she came back into contact with her mother, now Jackie Peterson, and her family -- including Jackie's son Scott Peterson and his wife, Laci. Anne was welcomed into the family, and over the next several years she grew close to Scott and especially Laci. Together they shared holidays, family reunions, and even a trip to Disneyland. Anne and Laci became pregnant at roughly the same time, and the two became confidantes.

Then, on Christmas Eve 2002, Laci Peterson went missing -- and the happy façade of the Peterson family slowly began to crumble. Anne rushed to the family's aid, helping in the search for Laci, even allowing Scott to stay in her home while police tried to find his wife. Yet Scott's behavior grew increasingly bizarre during the search, and Anne grew suspicious that her brother knew more than he was telling. Finally she began keeping a list of his disturbing behavior. And by the time Laci's body -- and that of her unborn son, Conner -- were found, Anne was becoming convinced: Her brother Scott Peterson had murdered his wife and unborn child in cold blood.

Filled with news-making revelations and intimate glimpses of Scott and Laci, the Peterson family, and the investigation that followed the murder, Blood Brother is a provocative account of how long-dormant family ties dragged one woman into one of the most notorious crimes of our time.

Not the best book I've read about the Peterson case (Ablow's is), but offers some interesting insights.

Out of all the books I've read about Laci and the case-and I've read almost all of them, this one left me feeling closest to knowing Laci. It is strange that a book by someone who didn't know Laci very well could leave me feeling like that, but Anne Bird did such a fantastic job describing Laci and her personality.
While Laci's mom, Sharon Rocha's book was amazing, I didn't finish the book feeling like I truly knew Laci. With this book I did.
Better than Ablow's book in my opinion.

Written at a fast moving pace, this book offers a lot of pictures. It also gives a different perspective of the Peterson family history.

Great book by Scott Peterson's sister. I pretty much read all the books about Laci and this has to be the best one.

Quick read. Not much new here, but it did give a picture of their mother, Jackie Peterson. Not a particularaly flattering one.

This is a compelling, easy-to-read retelling of a tragic story.

Behind-the-scenes true crime story of the Scott Peterson case, written by his half-sister. Interesting, but the case remains puzzling. There seems to be little doubt that Peterson killed his wife Laci, but there were few clues in his background that he would have been capable of the crime.
