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.
