It's a story told with difficulty, yet told well.-Zig Ziglar, Author and Motivational Teacher"Sue Young endured one of the most profound tragedies and traumas a mother can the abduction and murder of her daughter and then, twenty years later, the specter of early release of her daughter's killer. This book is her personal account of her ordeal and her faith and her effectiveness. Ms. Young helped mobilize the community and her state to keep a killer contained.

I understand the reasoning for wrighting this book, it's just a hard one to get through. Poorly written and facts that are gone into with so much detail that have nothing to do with the story in the long run. I am really annoyed at the moment!!

Interesting book to read but not what I thought it would be.

A very sad, but ultimately bracing story of how the mother of a murdered college student worked to make some good come out of the disaster.
