The murder described in this book was the subject of an investigative report on the IDTV program, "On the Case With Paula Zahn" in April 2015. The author of this book was interviewed.
On July 25, 1980, Anthony J. LaRette Jr. followed Mary Fleming into her apartment. He thought he had left the 18-year-old dead on the kitchen floor, but despite a gash across her throat and two deep knife wounds in her heart, she ran, naked and screaming, across the street to a neighbor's house, where she died on their front porch.
Through solid journalism and introspective reflection, Dennis Fleming, the victim's brother, weaves an intricate story filled with sadness, anger, and even humor about his attempts to cope with the greatest tragedy he'd ever known. This intensely personal true crime memoir is a life-affirming story about one man's twenty-five-year search for meaning and fulfillment in the face of a devastating situation. From the shocking details of Mary's murder and the author's subsequent suicide attempt to his mixed feelings as he witnessed LaRette's execution, Dennis delves into the complex process of coming to grips with Mary's death and of eventually finding a way to forgive her killer.
