It is exactly what you expect - heart wrenching and profoundly sad. Sharon Rocha is to be admired for putting all of it down. The proceeds of the sale of the book go to helping abused women extricate themselves from violent marriages. Hats off to Sharon for wading through all of her pain to help others. I was not sure if I would like this book. I did not want to contribute to the sensationalism of the case but I had a feeling that it would be a good book since it was coming from the mother's side of the story. I was not disappointed. I learned more about the case and it helped me understand more of the facts...not just what the media reported. It was a touching story and I am glad I took the time to read this book. This is the story of a mother's loss, of unspeakable pain and the phone call that changed her life forever. When the highly publicized event of seven month pregnant Laci Peterson's Christmas Eve disappearance hit the media, attention was riveted on this tragic event. As the story unfolded, Laci's husband became the prime suspect. In painful, raw emotion, Sharon Rocha documents her initial reactions and then takes us through the trail and conviction of her son in law. This is a sad and compelling book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Laci Rocha Peterson, 8 months pregnant, was last seen by her sister, Amy, in the late afternoon of December 23, 2002. She spoke to her mother, Sharon Rocha, at 8:30 p.m. that night. This would be the last time anyone from her immediate family ever spoke to her. A search began which lasted an agonizing four months. Sadly, Laci Peterson and her son Conner were found dead on the shores of San Francisco Bay on April 18, 2003. Her husband, Scott, was eventually arrested and charged with the murder of Laci and Connor. After a sensational, media-saturated trial, Peterson was found guilty of capital murder and was sentenced to death on March 16, 2005. This book deals with the story in three separate sections: first, Sharon describes the ordinary, loving life her daughter led, including fond memories of her childhood and adolescence. Second, it covers her marriage, disappearance, the community's moving search for her, and her and Connor's eventual recovery from San Francisco Bay. Third, it tells the story of the trial in detail not before revealed. Sharon will also talk about victim's rights, a subject on which she now campaigns regularly.

For Laci is Laci Peterson's mother's very personal and well-written account of Laci's (short) life and tragic death. If you have any interest in the Scott Peterson case then this is the book to read. ( )
