I didn't murder Adam. I survived an abusive marriage, broke away from a misogynistic religious group, and enrolled in nursing school to better provide and care for my disabled son Adam and his older sister Anne. When Adam died, I believed his death was a result of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, the genetic anomaly with which he was born, a bad infection, and complications of CPR. I didn't conspire with anyone to hide the truth. I don't tell lies. I was supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. It didn't work that way for me; I couldn't prove I was innocent.

From Miracle to Murder is not an essay into court or investigative procedures. Instead, listeners are invited into my life. I want them to see what I saw, thought, heard, and felt as I say my last goodbye to my son and when I am formally charged. Experience what I do when I am pushed to the edge of insanity, adjust, acquire the skills to survive, and then create a different normal as I forgive and find joy again. It covers the entirety of my son's life, and four decades of mine.

From Miracle to Murder: Justice for Adam is for anyone who believes in the presumption of innocent until proven guilty. It is my hope that readers will walk away from Miracle with a greater faith that they can survive the impossible, forgive the unforgivable, learn how not to become a victim, and believe in the importance of creating moments of clarity in the midst of chaos.
