The unspeakable grief of losing a child and grandchild to family murder crashes down in every chapter of "For Laci," a book by Laci Peterson's mother scheduled to hit bookshelves Saturday.
"You wake up from most nightmares and they're over," Sharon Rocha wrote in the book's opening line. "Mine was different."
Most of the eight books published about Modesto's blockbuster double-murder case have focused on Scott Peterson, who arrived on death row in March. In contrast, Rocha's book — subtitled "A Mother's Story of Love, Loss and Justice" — provides by far the best look at the soul of the victim.
As only a mother could.
"She deserves to be remembered for her life, not her death," Rocha wrote.
Rocha, who has been taping interviews in anticipation of a book tour, wrote in an author's note that she plans to "use money from this book to start a fund for search and rescue in memory of Laci and Conner."
Though Random House's Web site shows Saturday as the release date, The Bee bought a copy Tuesday at Border's bookstore in Turlock. Eric Carlson, a manager at Border's in Modesto, said Tuesday that his store had not received permission to release it, and a Barnes & Noble employee said that store won't sell it until Saturday.

Reserve your copy NOW.
Don't give Scott Peterson time to write children's books admonishing them not to kill their wife and child....lest a bunch of lunitic "actors" and politicians start holding him up as some kind of hero and nominate Scott for a peace prize.
Kill him now.
Amen
She broke our hearts too!
Have they executed that creep husband of hers yet?
"She deserves to be remembered for her life, not her death," Rocha wrote.
---I promise you that Lacy and Conner will NEVER be forgotten and America will forever remember them with love and sorrow for you and the rest of the family .
Lauranne and the girls
Sharon is making the talk circuit, she was just interviewed by Couric about her book. It must be excrutiating pain to dredge this all up again. But maybe she was ready to talk about it.
