Close to home, becuase it was

This book was written about my cousin Sarah, her borfriend Matt, and the person who destroyed all our lives. With pain and a tear in my eye, I made it through this book. Even for myself, who knew exactly what happened, I got confused a couple times. I do have to say that this book was well written, and during the jury trial, I could picture my self sitting in that court room like I was a few years back. I am glad that so many people have taken some time to read this book, and have found a spot for Sarah and Matt in their hearts. Matt is doing well. He is a strong guy, someone to definitley look up to. He is still working and going to school. I admire him for everything he tried to do for my cousin, and now, for everything he is doing for himself. Never Give Up!

I have lived through this

Don Lasseter has done an amazing job on this book. It has taken me back many years ago, when I knew that I had Sarah by my side. I loved her so much that words could not explain. This book shows the pain that we went through. How forever our lives are changed. Namey, has changed our lives forever and not for the better. Sarah was my cousin. She will foreer live with us in our hearts and our prayers. Reading this book,has taken me back to the days in court watching Namey enter the room. This book tells a lot about the turth. Matt is still very much part of our family and forever will be. Thanks to Don, her life story will live on to hopefuly one day help others.

Champions

I was moved to tears at the end of this book by the letter Matt Corbett wrote to the judge, and also, by the victim impact statement of Sarah's mother. They tell how much damage was done by the killer, Richard Namey. It is so unfair that one person can cause so much suffering to so many innocent people. I was impressed by the courage and the ability to forgive of Matt Corbett. He is a champion. I hope he will be able to walk again someday. Another champion is the prosecutor, Dennis Conway. Not many people would have gotten through law school with all of the obstacles to overcome that he had to. Thank God he did!

Mr. Perfect The Slimeball And The Girl

I really enjoyed this book, however this is probably the first book that had a running background for all the key players, which I enjoyed. It's a sad, sad story about a young woman who while dating Mr. Perfect, decides that perhaps the grass could be greener with the not so nice, naughty boy. But when she decides that naughty is not as much fun as she hoped it would be. She tries to break it off and he turns out to be a crazed ex who starts to stalk his prey. The cops can't do anything about this satistic little pri*k because he hasn't crossed that fine line. But when he does his defense attorney tries to slime her to get the crazy stalker off the hook and keep him out of jail. It's a one-nighter and worth reading.

If I Can't Have You, No One Can

This was a very well written book. The author goes into great detail of all of the main characters. It was a very sad story but very compelling to read. It didn't take long to finish because I enjoyed the author's style of writing and of course wanted to find out how the story unfolds.
