Description
Diane Foley's story is one of extraordinary loss and moral courage. Eleven years have passed since her son, James Foley, was kidnapped in Syria, and yet for her, that moment remains unending. In "American Mother", Colum McCann recounts Diane's journey as she recalls the months of her son's captivity, the efforts to bring him home, and the days following his death, when she faced one of the men responsible for his kidnapping and torture. This book is a testament to the power of radical empathy and the human spirit's capacity for connection in a world torn apart by conflict and violence. Through Diane's story, McCann takes us inside a woman's extraordinary journey to find meaning and purpose in the face of unimaginable tragedy. A powerful and moving account, "American Mother" is a story of one woman's struggle to come to terms with her loss and to find a way to keep her son's memory alive.
