Through My Tears by Michael Comella

Through My Tears by Michael Comella

Becki Reiser faced a mother's worst fear come true: the tragic murder of her daughter. Her book, Through My Tears, written with Michael Comella, is an excruciating tale of this unimaginable time in Reiser's life.

The book opens with the night of the murder and the dreaded knock at the Reisers' door. One of the author's young sons went to the door, saw the police officer, and, too shocked to do much else, went to wake his parents. From that moment on, nothing would ever be the same for the author and her family. In fact, nothing would ever be the same for the officers, doctors, friends, family, and the Reisers' hometown.

What follows is a detailed account from eyewitnesses, officers, and the author of what it was like to discover that a missing daughter was actually a murdered daughter. The remarkable aspect of Through My Tears is the intrepid bravery of Reiser and the instant and assured assertion that the murderer was forgiven. The forgiveness soothed ragged hearts and offered solace and strength.

This book will rouse the soul and wrench the heart; it is an indispensible tool in the process of bereavement and grief.
