Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On Memorial Day 2009, two children fell into the river in Portland, Oregon. They were rescued by police and taken to the hospital, but one died. In Milwaukie, twelve-year-old Gavin Stott could not sleep, wondering if his mother was with his siblings.

#2 At 1:33 a. m. , Kathy Stott called Amanda’s estranged husband, Jason Smith, asking if he had spoken with Amanda. He had not, not since he left their two children with her at around eight o’clock the previous evening.

#3 The trial of Stott-Smith was quick. She was charged with murdering her children, and the three defendants were charged with different crimes, all within eight minutes.

#4 The judge read the charges to Amanda: one count of aggravated murder, and one of attempted aggravated murder. The aggravated designation indicated that the crimes were committed intentionally. If Amanda went to trial, she would face the death penalty.
