My Son, John

  
 Trying to deal with the death of her beloved mother, Liz Peterson tries to understand how anyone could cause harm to her.  Grandma was a lady who would help anyone in need. Liz tries to cope with the death and then the investigation that will turn her world upside down, even more so than loosing her mother. 
 Soon after the murder she notices changes in her family, but due to the circumstance, wouldn't they all, each one of them, have their own way of dealing with this loss? Liz knows they all love each other and loved Grandma with all their heart, so why is he being so distant? Why is he not there with her, his father and his sister, when they need to pull together and support each other?
 When the investigation begins turning toward him, he son, her only beloved son, turns himself in for the murder. Liz's world takes a tumble even further down than she realized she could go. How could her son be responsible for such a brutal crime of a woman he loved so much? Surely they have made a mistake and she and her husband will be able to clear his name.
 As she adjusts to the fact that John is guilty she has to deal with the why's, how's and what will happen to him now. He was raised in church but drifted away as he got older, went to college and had just started a new career as a pharmacist. How could anything like this happen? And she has to learn how to love him, unconditionally and not only forgive him but ask for forgiveness from her Lord of all... 
 Can she do it?Will she ever been free of the demons that torment her? Will he ever be free from the demons that torment him? Will Liz ever be free to love him again? What about his father, sister and other family members?


 This is a touching book of betrayal, faith, love and forgiveness. It was hard to read at times,   reading the torments a mother had to go thru but I could not put it down. God had a reason for me to read it and I feel he has a reason for you to read it also... and yes, tears came for me in the end.
