Absolutely heartbreaking. I was so lucky to find a hardcover edition for only $3 at my local used bookshop.

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. ( )

this book is very hard and painful to read but the mother did a good job. ( )

I saw this book at the library and couldn't help picking it up. 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.
