Summary:
The mother of
Matthew
Shepard shares her story about her
son
's death and the choice she made to become an international gay rights activist. Today, the name
Matthew
Shepard is synonymous with gay rights, but before his grisly
murder
in 1998,
Matthew
was simply her
son
. For the first time in book form, Judy Shepard speaks about her loss, sharing memories of
Matthew
, their life as a typical American family, and the pivotal event that changed everything. The book follows the Shepard family in the days after the crime, when their incapacitated
son
was on life support; how they learned of the response from strangers all across America who held candlelit vigils and memorial services for their child; and finally, how they struggled to navigate the legal system as
Matthew
's murderers were on trial. It not only captures the historical significance and civil rights issues, but it also chronicles one ordinary woman'
s
struggle to cope with the unthinkable.
