"Amanda’s Voice"  By Eileen Bennett

The book surrounds the May 25, 2006 murder of  Wendy Bennett McCarter, 35, and two grandchildren, Scott Jr. 12, and Melanie, 6.

The book also tells the story of  participation in the successful fight to abolish the death penalty in NJ, and the reforms made to the NJ Division of Youth and Family Services by the case.
