A Minute of Mindfulness Journal: Seasons

Editorial Reviews
In her book, King deftly explores her childhood experiences related to her mother's disappearance and later, her murder. She provides detailed, poignant accounts of how these events affected her as a child, particularly when she was twelve, allowing readers to connect with her on a deeper level and truly understand her feelings at that time. Additionally, she reveals the impact her mother's murder had on her as an adult and how it shaped her identity. Another significant aspect she discusses is how the inability to find a loved one's body can hinder a family's closure. This element is crucial as she explains the profound effects that not having her mother's remains had on her and her family. Through this context, the narrative will likely resonate with those who have faced tragic losses of their own. King also highlights how the judicial system can sometimes fail the victims' families, leaving them feeling powerless. This perspective may appeal to those who have experienced similar injustices, helping them appreciate this powerful work.

The death of a loved one is difficult to overcome. But the murder of a family member and being left with more questions than answers, even after the murderer has been found and sentenced, is impossible to express. For Stacey Andrade King and her family, the loss of Nancy Jo Andrade, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, was a tragedy. To learn that her death was the result of nothing more than greed and that her murderer felt no hint of remorse at what he did was even worse. But nothing could have prepared them for the letter from the District Attorney's office decades later. The one that said they could all find themselves right back in the middle of the worst experience of their lives. Until She's Found is an introduction to the grief, the loss, and the profound pain of a family whose mourning has only just begun again... Stacey's story, and her mother's story, are almost unbelievable, but they're also the stories that so many victims live every day. There's pain, hope, loss, desperation, and through it all, a feeling of strength and determination to see things through to the end. No matter what that may be.
