This book is from the journaling of a father, David Bagby, and how him and his wife survived the loss (murder) of their son and the following days of waiting to see justice brought to his murderer. That justice never comes. The ex-girlfriend that is the murderer is pregnant with David's grandson, so instead of staying away from her, they are more engaged than ever in an attempt to see their grandson. Eventually the grandson is murdered by this woman also! Sad, true story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Immortalized in the spellbinding documentary Dear Zachary, this angry, raw, and brutally honest memoir of murder and loss chronicles a system's failure to prevent the death of a child. In November 2001, the body of a young doctor named Andrew Bagby was discovered in Keystone State Park outside Latrobe, Pennsylvania, five bullet wounds in his face, chest, buttocks, and the back of the head. For parents Dave and Kate, the pain was unbearable--but Andrew's murder was only the first in a string of tragic events. The chief suspect for Andrew's murder was his ex-girlfriend Shirley Turner--also a doctor. Obsessive and unstable, Shirley Turner lied to the police and fled to her family home in Newfoundland before she could be arrested. While fending off extradition efforts by U.S. law enforcement, she announced she was pregnant with Andrew's son, Zachary. The Bagbys--hoping to gain custody of Zachary--moved to Newfoundland and began a long, drawn-out battle in court and with Canadian social services to protect their grandson from the woman who had almost certainly murdered their son. Then, in August 2003, Shirley Turner killed herself and the one-year-old Zachary by jumping into the Atlantic Ocean. DANCE WITH THE DEVIL is a eulogy for a dead son, an elegy for lives cut tragically short, and a castigation of a broken system. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

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. ( )
