Product Description
Meet Laura Van Ryn and Whitney Cerak: one buried under the wrong name, one in a coma and being cared for by the wrong family.This shocking case of mistaken identity stunned the country and made national news. Would it destroy a family? Shatter their faith? Push two families into bitterness, resentment, and guilt? Read this unprecedented story of two traumatized families who describe their ordeal and explore the bond sustaining and uniting them as they deal with their bizarre reversal of life lost and life found. And join Whitney Cerak, the sole surviving student, as she comes to terms with her new identity, forever altered, yet on the brink of new beginnings. Mistaken Identity weaves a complex tale of honesty, vulnerability, loss, hope, faith, and love in the face of one of the strangest twists of circumstances imaginable.

What trials and pain these families have been through. Losing loved ones is never easy, but the faith these people show is wonderful and heart-warming. Definitely a book that will produce tears and hope.
Very good book May 14, 2008

I just finished reading this book last night. I have a lot of respect for the families involved in this story. I don't know that I would be as charitable and faithful in that situation. I like to think I would but you never know unless you are in the situation. These families are amazing. Not only did they write a great book, they did it for the right reasons. I did get a little confused at the first because it switches families and days and it took a little bit to get everyone in the right place in my mind. I know somone who was in a coma for three months if I remember right. I have gained a greater appreciation for the things she and her family went through.

I had heard this whole story through interviews and magazine articles. It was good to see the whole story played out through the eyes of the families.

this was an amazing true story of one family burying a child thought dead and another caring for a child thought alive. it was honest, heartwrenching and honest. very bittersweet. i hope i could identify my family or friend better if i was in this situation. makes you hug your close circle more!

I ordered and received this book after a local girl went through a similar situation and suggested that it was a very good book. I began reading it and I could not put it down. I have very little time to read these days but I made the time to read this one. I will pass it on to my friends with a 100% endorsement.
