On May 23, 2009, Amanda Stott Smith dropped her two children from a bridge in Portland, Oregon. Her four year-old son died; her daughter, age seven, survived. Amanda was arrested within hours, sentenced to prison for 45 years. In the weeks after the incident , coverage of the crime by local media contained virtually no background material—and never would. In her riveting new book, TO THE BRIDGE, Nancy chronicles all her findings from this devastating case. Despite its complexity and resolve not to be told, the story of why a mother would seek to kill her children ultimately does reveal itself, in this gripping and important investigation.
