To the Bridge: a true story of motherhood and murder
by Nancy Rommelmann
How terrified must those small children to have been to have the one person who should love them the most try to hurt them. It's horrifying.
I thought the point of this book would be to dig into the past and go into why she would do such a horrifying thing. The author goes through records, meetings with lawyers, interviews to try to dig into the past and maybe into why.
Amanda had a troubled past, a dysfunctional marriage, and a life filled with alcohol. I left the book thinking that the reason she did this was just because she is one of those terrible people and she tried to murder both of the kids just to hurt her children.
How awful for Trinity to grow up knowing her mother tried to murder her and murdered her younger brother. And for the older son who will wonder if that day would have turned out different if he had gone with, would he have been able to stop his mother.
