Book Review of For Laci : A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Justice

For Laci : A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Justice
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


As heart breaking as it was to see the Rocha family endure the loss of both Laci and Connor Peterson, I am sure writing this book was very cathartic for Sharon Rocha. There were times I felt I could almost hear her questioning Scott, yearning for Laci and then feeling an ending, though no joy in Scott's conviction. The story sometimes reads as though a previous relevent part of some episodes were cut leaving me questioning if I'd accidentally skipped a few pages. Mrs. Rocha also goes on a bit with the people who were there for her, supporting her and her family. However, other than a half dozen key people, all the names somewhat blend together, not adding much to the value of the book content.
