Book description
This is the story of an ordinary woman whose grief - and love - for her
only son compelled her to do something extraordinary.
When Margaret Davis's beloved son Steven was murdered by his own wife, a
Philippino former prostitute, she travelled across continents to track
down her son's killers and bring them to justice, and to rescue her
grandchildren.
Based on Margaret's own diaries, notes and emails, this tells not only
the awful but utterly compelling story of her perilous journey, but also
of how she has dealt with her crippling grief, and how she has striven
to save and protect two small children caught up in the violent
crossfire of their parents' failing marriage. It is a tale of two
cultures that clashed, with terrible results. And it is a tale of how
one mother, faced with her worst nightmare, has fought for justice for
her son and some kind of healing for herself and the others left behind
after his appalling death. Margaret is a grandmother and is now
bringing up her two grandchildren in Spain, after rescuing them from the
Philippines. The tragic story of her son Stephen's murder at the hands
of how own wife, which shocked the nation in 2005, was the subject of an
ITV documenary called 'Murder in the Family'.
