Negative Positive
Title: Crocodile Tears
Review: I picked up this book for free at the library, not sure what it was about. As I read the book I was slightly put-off by the author's writing style, and her sugar-coated and twee recollections of Jessica. But, like the previous reveiwer, I became more and more irritated by the author's refusal to accept her role in this tragedy. The fact that she and her husband kept Jessica from going back to the Schmidts as a baby and then argued that the girl was bonded to them as a toddler was completely and totally selfish on their part. They put their needs before Jessica's. And her self-proclaimed naivete about the media, movie deals and such was too much to believe. This book was just another opportunity to paint herself as the angel mother, and make a few bucks in the process. I'm putting my copy back on the give-away pile.
