Book Review of I Wish You Didn't Know My Name: The Story of Michele Launders and Her Daughter Lisa

meccasgirl avatar reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


At first when I flipped through the book, I thought Lisa's birthmother just used her death to make money, by writing a book about herself. But much of what I read I had never heard about this case before, it truly opened my eyes about what happened in this tragic case.

I am an avid reader of true crime, usually the more graphic, however, there were a few times that I cried reading this story. The conniving monsters that Steinberg and Nussbaum are blantantly spelled out in this account.
