Moms of the Missing: Living the Nightmare

Every parent's worst nightmare is to have a child go missing. The fear, the uncertainty, the anguish is unbearable. For the mothers of missing children, this nightmare becomes a reality that they must live with every single day.

In the powerful and moving book Moms of the Missing: Living the Nightmare, journalist and author Kelly J. Baker tells the true stories of several mothers who have lost children to abduction or disappearance. These heart-wrenching accounts offer a glimpse into the unimaginable pain and suffering that these families endure, and the inspiring resilience and determination they find within themselves to keep searching for their loved ones.

One of the mothers featured in the book is Lorrie Davis, whose daughter, Morgan Harrington, disappeared in 2009 after attending a Metallica concert at the University of Virginia. For years, Lorrie and her family searched tirelessly for Morgan, but there were no leads and no answers. In 2010, a man named Jesse Matthew Jr. was arrested and charged with Morgan's murder. He was convicted in 2015 and sentenced to life in prison.
