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.

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.

I read this book within the first week of it's release. I could not put it down, and finished it in one day. I cried throughout the book, and was very touched by the words of Sharon Rocha. This is a must read!

This was a wonderful book written by Laci's Mom. Very sad but at least I know what I was reading was true. Definitely worth the read.

This book was wonderfully written. It brought Laci to life and brought her into your heart. Sharon Rocha takes you on her journey from start to finish in this book. When she talks about joy you feel joy, when she talks about pain you feel pain. It is rare to have a book that does that. It also answers any question you have about the case straight up and straightens out any rumors or inaccuracies that are out there. It is a great read and hard to put down once you start. For me personally this especially hit home because I live 10 minutes from Modesto where Laci was from. It is proof positive that monsters are everywhere.

I read this book many moons ago, right after it was first published. Written by a mother, feeling in her gut something was "seriously wrong" with the disappearance of her daughter.. her journey to the truth of Laci's disappearance is heartbreaking-This book held my attention and was finished in a couple of days. An easy read. I find myself thinking about this book from time to time.

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.

Loved the book. Great insight into Laci's life and the love her mother and family had for her. Lots of details about Scott Peterson that I had never heard before.

I enjoyed reading this book about what Laci's moma, Sharon went thru. That may sound horrible to say "enjoyed" but I did.
We all can only imagine what Sharon and her family and friends went thru. My heart goes out to them, learning to live their lives without Laci!
I think this is a good book. I learned about what all happened when Scott murdered Laci and Conner,and I also learned how the love of family and friends can get us through anything we are faced with in life.

This book really touched me emotionally...what can you say about reading the loss of a mother and her best friend(daughter). My mom and I are close like them and I couldn't help but read this through her eyes and through my own being a mom myself...This is heartbreaking....Scott Peterson is a horrible human being and should be forever tortured for what he has taken away from all these people. I wanted him to hurt badly. I liked reading Sharons point of view although it was sooooo sad I was very intrigued by her story since I was the same age as laci and also 7 months pregnant when all this happened...May laci and connor rest in peace and may god give sharon and all of laci's family and friend strength.
