In April 2008, my first book was published. On this 10th
anniversary, I am very pleased to announce the re-release of The
Thirty-Ninth Victim.
The Green River murders
were headline news throughout the 1980s. By the time the perpetrator was finally
arrested over twenty years later, at least 48 young women had been killed in
the worst serial murder case in history.
In THE THIRTY-NINTH
VICTIM, Arleen Williams tells the story of her family's journey before and
after the Green River killer murdered her youngest sister and offers a window
into the family dynamics behind this life-altering tragedy. The redemptive
power of finding and facing truth are at the heart of this powerful memoir.
As
you may know, writing this memoir reshaped the course of my life. Publication
gave me voice and launched an unplanned and much cherished writing career. The
book sparked memorable conversations with readers and earned numerous positive
reviews.
A courageous and insightful memoir that stands
as a tribute to a beloved sister and that opens a revealing window on family
dynamics in the face of an unspeakable crime. Arleen Williams's account is
measured, thorough, factual, and heartbreaking.

We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?
You can find The
Thirty-Ninth Victim here. If you have read the first
edition, perhaps you might want to gift a copy to friend or family. This 10th
anniversary edition sports a new epilogue as well as a sharp new cover by
designer, Loretta Matson.
As always, thank you for your interest and readership
(and for your Amazon reviews).
