About this ebook
From the Reviews of SAVING BEAUTY FROM THE BEAST:
"Who can better understand the rage that erupts and the pain that perseveres in the aftermath of murder than a mother who lost her daughter to male violence? A brave and compassionate account.
-Dominick Dunne
" an excellent guide as well as a memoir from the heart. Saving Beauty is both heart-wrenching and healing. Highly recommended."
-Library Journal, 2003
Advance Praise for AFTER THE VIOLENCE:
"This mom's affecting portrait of her long-gone daughter relates the emotional devastation that murder inflicts on an entire family through the generations. Incredibly moving in its honesty and inspiration."
