A Stolen Life: The Debra Milke Story

by Jana Bommersbach

Arizona said Debra Milke was a baby killer. Phoenix Homicide Detective Armando Saldate testified she "confessed" to having her four-year-old son killed when he though he was going to see Santa. On his word alone, she was convicted in 1990 and became the only woman on Arizona's death row. So how did she go free in 2015--only the second woman in American history to walk off death row?

Customer Reviews

Good story, but the author should have used Spellcheck!

Being an Arizona native, I remember hearing this story on the the local news when it happened. I was pretty young at the time, and didn't really pay much attention to the details of the case and wanted to read more about it. I liked the way the author told the story, but was really disappointed by the complete lack of proof reading skills - there are SO many spelling errors, it was distracting! I'm no spelling expert or English professor, but I find it irritating when simple words are misspelled; it kind of takes the joy out of reading for me. If you don't share my pet peeve, and can overlook this, you'll probably enjoy this book too. I found it very hard to put down!
