Her body was discovered in the woods of northern Maryland two years later and her death was ruled a homicide. Although Susan’s case drew substantial media attention—including a spot on \u003ci\u003eUnsolved Mysteries\u003c\/i\u003e—no one, to date, has ever been charged with her murder. In piecing together a mosaic of Susan’s final years, Moran grew to believe her sister was a victim of domestic violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn academic by trade, Moran employs a scholar’s precision and razor-sharp feminist analysis in this valiant effort to come to terms with Susan’s life and death and to understand her sister in a way she did not when she was alive. “Finding” Susan refers to both the search for Susan's body and the search for the formative forces of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMirroring elements of high-profile cases from Laci Peterson to Nicole Brown Simpson, \u003ci\u003eFinding Susan \u003c\/i\u003eis one woman’s chronicle of loss and remembrance that arrestingly details the helplessness experienced by families of missing persons and calls critical attention to our alarming blindness to domestic abuse. Including appendixes of domestic violence resources, \u003ci\u003eFinding Susan \u003c\/i\u003eserves as a guide for concerned family members and friends of at-risk women to help identify the warning signs of domestic abuse. Thirty-six illustrations are a powerful complement to the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026400493808,"sku":"9780809327300","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809327300_p0.jpg?v=1763738344","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809327300","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
