A young family-dad, mom, baby-are gunned down in their home by a
"friend." Dad and baby survive, but the mom does not. Her mom
searches for the truth of her daughter's life and murder, while
desperately trying to bond with her wounded grandchild. This memoir
is both mystery (diamonds, threats, betrayal) and love story: one
woman's deliberate re-incarnation of her daughter for her
grandchild who would never know her mom. 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." -June Ginty,
Trustee on Board of the National Organization of Parents of
Murdered Children
