This shocking case of mistaken identity stunned the country and made national news. Would it destroy a family? Shatter their faith? Push two families into bitterness, resentment, and guilt? Two traumatized families describe their ordeal and explore the bond sustaining and uniting them as they deal with their bizarre reversal of life lost and life found. And Whitney Cerak, the sole surviving student, comes to terms with her new identity, forever altered, yet on the brink of new beginnings. This book weaves a complex tale of honesty, vulnerability, loss, hope, faith, and love in the face of one of the strangest twists of circumstances imaginable.-- From publisher description10aVan Ryn, DonxFamily10aCerak, NewellxFamily 0aTraffic accidentszUnited StatesxPsychological aspectsvCase studies 0aMistaken identityzUnited StatesvCase studies 0aTraffic accident victimszUnited StatesxIdentificationvCase studies 0aTraffic accident victimsxRehabilitationzUnited StatesvCase studies 0aDaughtersvBiography 0aSpiritual biographyzUnited States 0aFort Wayne (Ind.)vBiography 0aGaylord (Mich.)vBiography1 aVan Ryn, Don
