Missing Mom: A True Crime, True Family Story

This true account opens on a bright July morning in 2003 near Flint, Michigan. An eighty-year-old grandmother has disappeared without a trace. Investigators soon find her car, burned out in what looks like a deliberate fire, yet there is no sign of her. The story becomes a tangle of kidnapping, robbery and killing, and yet it is also a moving portrait of a family refusing to give up. The author, who is her son, tells it from the inside, sharing the fear, the questions and the stubborn hope that carried them through a search that would not end easily.
