Adam Cox and Rex Conner, the brother and uncle of Lori Daybell, have had their family torn apart by Lori's lies, which ultimately cost at least four innocent people their lives.

Just a few short months before the killing started, Lori spoke casually with Adam in her kitchen one day, but what she told him frightened him to his core.

“I don’t have to eat ever again,” Lori said, her gaze locked on Adam, “and if you shoot me, the bullet won’t hurt me. My body has almost completed the process of becoming immortal.”

So begins the often bizarre, almost unbelievable tale of Lori Daybell, as told by two of the people who know her best: Adam Cox and Rex Conner. What follows is the hauntingly tragic account of Lori Daybell's transformation from loving sister, daughter, niece, wife, and mother to murderous manipulator.

Throughout the book, Adam weaves together stories about growing up with Lori. He then takes the listener through her four marriages and three divorces, as Lori welcomes her children into her heart and homes. Adam identifies several behaviors and patterns that may offer insight into Lori's actions and her beliefs. Uncle Rex offers wisdom as he seeks to answer the question: WHY would anyone commit such travesties? And HOW could someone become so estranged from her own internal guidance system that she can't hear it at all?

Ultimately this is a book about healing. It is about the process of finding grace and meaning by sharing and normalizing stories of pain and despair. It is about recognizing silver linings as precious gifts. It is about celebrating the redeeming love of friendship and community.
