If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister's Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation
reviewed on + 41 more book reviews


I have read a lot of true-first person accounts as part of my training, because I am the paralegal to the staff attorney for our local domestic violennce outreach. Its a topic I find fascinating, because even though I, myself, am a survivor of domestic violence, both towards me and earlier towards my mother, I never understand why its so simple to resort to violence. Aren't we civilized? Anyway, this is a really finely written accounting of one woman's journey into the world of domestic violence, and how her family strives for justice.
