of the trial, to set up a foundation to help young women identify when
they might be in a relationship that puts them in harm's way - as Sophie
was, unbeknownst to her and her family - and how to seek help. This
book is Lesley's tribute to a daughter she adored, her harrowing account
of a tragedy no family should ever have to endure, and her inspiring
