In She Said Yes, Cassie's mother breaks her silence to tell the story of a daughter who had, at one point, started down a troubled path similar to that of her killers -- and how as parents, she and her husband risked everything to save her, only to lose her again.

We expect our martyrs to be etched in stained glass, not carrying a backpack and worrying about their weight and their finals. Cassie's is a mystery story, the tale of a girl lost to bad friends and drugs and witchcraft and all the dark places of teenage rebellion.
