For the Love of My Son
The story of an ordinary woman whose griefand lovefor her only son compelled her to do something extraordinary. When Margaret Davis's beloved son Steven was murdered by his own wife, a Philippino former prostitute, she travelled across continents to track down her son s killers and bring them to justice, and to rescue her grandchildren. Based on Margaret's own diaries, notes, and emails, this tells not only the awful but utterly compelling story of her perilous journey, but also of how she has dealt with her crippling grief, and how she has striven to save and protect two small children caught up in the violent crossfire of their parents failing marriage. It is a tale of two cultures that clashed, with terrible results. And it is a tale of how one mother, faced with her worst nightmare, has fought for justice for her son and some kind of healing for herself and the others left behind after his appalling death."

Couldn't put it down

Captivating reading as we read it all in one seating. Only a Mother's love could persevere through the corrupt legal myriad practiced in the Philippines. Any less of an effort and the bad guys would still be free today. Bravo Margaret !!
Be careful who you get involved with....

This is a book about Margaret's son who went to live in the Phillipines, and ended up marrying a local woman. They had 2 children together. Unfortunately, the wife wanted her husband dead so she could get his money, so she arranged for some men to murder him. Margaret wasn't satisfied that this was a "robbery gone horribly wrong". Clearly, someone had targetted her son for murder. It reads like a fictitous book, but unfortunately every bit of this is true. The book got my attention from the very first page, and I don't think I put it down until I finished it. Well worth reading..
