IN A CHILD'S NAME The Legacy of a Mother's Murder.

Hardback. In 1984 the hideously beaten body of a young woman - a wife and new mother - was discovered in a roadside ditch in a remote mountainous area of eastern Pennsylvania. She was Teresa Benigno Taylor, a beautiful Italian-American born in New York, recently married to Kenneth Z Taylor, a dentist from Indiana with a seemingly bright future, an engaging, athletic and articulate man whom many women had found irresistible. No sooner was her identity established than suspicion focused on Dr. Taylor, and in a very short time he was charged. Two rural police officers slowly uncovered Taylor's dark past, a history of deception and violence. Moreover, in the wake of Teresa's tragic death, a wrenching struggle would also ensued between families and cultures in the bitter custody battle over the couple's infant son, almost as horrifying as the murder and trial.
