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.

5 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down.   May 12, 2008

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.

I loved the book. I read it in on night. I have passed it on to many people. My heart broke for both families. They we both very strong and remarkable families.


5 out of 5 stars So good I couldn't put it down and go to bed!   May 10, 2008

I was interested in this book not only because of the bizarre and horrific circumstances, but also because one of the girls killed in the accident is the daughter of fellow church members. When my books arrived, I picked up this one first to just take a quick look, and I ended up reading it in one evening! It says volumes about the strength of faith of the families involved without being syrupy or preachy.


4 out of 5 stars A little too Bible-versey at times...but great!   May 9, 2008

Very good book and worth the read. They have a lot of Bible verses and at times it got a little too spiritual, but the love and faith the families have is amazing.

This book is very good! I am a reader of true stories only, and this one rates right up with Lets Roll. They are both tearjerkers!
