True Crime | Non-Fiction Memoir
This is the tragic story of Kent Whitaker's heart-wrenching
journey toward forgiveness and faith after the brutal murder
of his wife and one of his sons. Straight from the
headlines comes an incredible true story of a son's
treachery. For the first time, readers are offered inside
access to the emotional drama that went on behind the
scenes. At the core is the remarkable healing power of
forgiveness, demonstrated by Kent Whitaker, which shows how
the survivors of such atrocious events can still forgive
those who have permanently damaged their lives. One
evening, the Whitaker family returned home after dinner,
celebrating a son's impending graduation from college. On
opening the front door, they faced a gunman lying in wait.
The gunman opened fire, instantly killing the younger son and
Kent's wife, leaving Kent and his older son lying wounded
until police and ambulances arrived. While recovering in the
hospital, Kent resolved in his heart to forgive whoever was
responsible for the deaths of his wife and son. Over the
next few weeks, it was discovered that the whole murder plot
had been orchestrated by the surviving son -- whom Kent had
unknowingly forgiven. After a trial that resulted in a death
sentence for his son, Kent emerged from this harrowing
ordeal to share their astonishing journey toward forgiveness
and redemption.
