Synopsis "Healing After Homicide: The Jackie Clark Story"
Experiencing the violent death of a loved one stays with you forever. You never get over it. This is the case for the family of Jackie Clark, an eight-year-old girl, who was abducted, sexually violated and killed by her abductor. So many people were impacted by her death - her family, friends, police officers and searchers. Then I was convinced by a psychic medium that the little spirit girl was reaching out from the other side, wanting to contact her mother and others stuck in a place of deep grief. One-by-one I found the grieving... Messages were given. Deep emotional wounds started to heal. - Laverne Stewart, best-selling author of Angels and the Afterlife, a Fredericton, New Brunswick-based, award-winning journalist of 30 years.

She's donating her royalties to the Jackie Clark Fund aiding youth in crisis, child abuse victims and young aspiring writers (honoring Jackie's desire to become a published writer).I'm hoping this book helps everyone affected by this senseless tragedy to find a sense of peace and resolution... to my beautiful daughter... I love you always." - Tammy Grant, mother of Jackie ClarkI was part of the search effort, hoping all the while to find her yet at the same time dreading that possibility... This event rocked not only myself but the whole community, city and province to the core. I found the book to be very factual and accurate. It brought back so many feelings that I'd suppressed, but as Jackie would have wanted, it's promoted healing within me as well... - Frank K. Paul, retired Fredericton Police Officer, and president, Guardians of the Children, FrederictonMy daughter is the same age as Jackie. There was a visceral fear and horrible realization this terror could happen to any family. Jackie, in the midst of the searching, became everyone's daughter, everyone's child.
