On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a two-ton truck bomb
that felled the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City,
killing 168 people. On June 11, 2001, an unprecedented 242
witnesses watched him die by lethal injection. In the aftermath of
the bombings, American public commentary almost immediately turned
to "closure" rhetoric. Reporters and audiences alike speculated
about whether victim's family members and survivors could get
closure from memorial services, funerals, legislation, monuments,
trials, and executions. But what does "closure" really mean for
those who survive-or lose loved ones in-traumatic acts? In the wake
of such terrifying events, is closure a realistic or appropriate
expectation? In Killing McVeigh, Jody Lynee Madeira uses the
Oklahoma City bombing as a case study to explore how family members
and other survivors come to terms with mass murder. The book
demonstrates the importance of understanding what closure really is
before naively asserting it can or has been reached.
In Taking Baby Steps, Jody Lynee Madeira takes readers inside the
infertility experience, from dealing with infertility-related
emotions through forming treatment relationships with medical
professionals to confronting difficult medical decisions. Based on
hundreds of interviews, this book investigates how women, men, and
medical professionals negotiate infertility's rocky terrain to
create life and build families-a journey across personal, medical,
legal, and ethical minefields that can test mental and physical
health, friendships and marriages, spirituality, and financial
security.

impacts of these labors to demonstrate the importance of
understanding what closure really is before naively asserting it
can or has been reached.
