About this listen
Ruth Markel is the mother of the late Dan Markel, a noted law professor who was murdered in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014. In The Unveiling, she describes her experiences since the day of Dan's death from several distinct perspectives:
- As a devastated mother with the unique human perspective of becoming a homicide survivor and victim.
- As a woman whose attempts to achieve normalcy and live a healthy life are continually interrupted by painful reminders, a rollercoaster of hearings, frequently changing trial dates, verdicts, and appeals.
- As an engaged citizen using what she has learned to help other victims of homicide and violent crimes recover from trauma and begin an optimistic outlook on life.
- As an insider who shows how our collective network of family, friends, and experts have helped her family remain involved, motivated, and hopeful.
- As a grandmother who had not been allowed to see her grandchildren in many years, she used advocacy to inspire the Florida State Legislature to pass a grandparent visitation bill.
- And as an experienced author of nine books using the written word to effectively address the shift from grief to promise.

...as a Floridian over 65 victim of crime who never saw justice nor accoutability of the perp in the UK criminal system [ having left Florida 20 years ago] it is apparent that the scales of justice lean far too heavily in the direction of providing criminals far more protection than the victims....worldwide. There is something very, very wrong with a world where innocent people suffer the wrath and pain within outdated, improper and misguided legal systems....very sad...
Another sad view of American injustice

It is a mother’s subjective ode to her tragically killed son, this is understandable.
Not much of a book though .
Pain & tragedy but not a book
