Dave Bagby

If you have not seen the documentary Dear Zachary, go watch it now. This book was written by David Bagby, whose son Andrew was murdered by his girlfriend. After Andrew's murder, it was discovered that his girlfriend was pregnant with his child. In order to escape criminal charges, she then fled to Canada to fight extradition. This books is the true story about Andrew's murder and the custody fight between his parents and girlfriend over his son Zachary.

This is one of the saddest books I have ever read. I saw the documentary first and I just had to read the book too. It will stay with you for a very long, long time. David Bagby tells it how it is, without and fluff or worry about how he may come off looking. This is a man who loves his son and grandson and is so honest and emotional you cannot help but feel their pain. The book narrates each court date and delay that the Bagbys had to endure in order to just visit with their grandchild and fight for custody. Nobody should EVER have to go through what they went through. The justice system absolutely failed this family beyond belief. If you haven't read this book, please do. You cannot even begin to understand the nightmare of which they lived unless you read this book or watch the documentary. I recommend both.… (altro)
