Download Finding Daddy: A Memoir of a Murder, Survival, and a 911 Operator's Worst Nightmare AudioBook Free
Over the first day of university, 10-year-old Jeffrey and his six-year-old sibling, Tyler, climbed out of the university bus at the foot of their driveway, walking to their home, worked up about the first day of school. Instantly, their expectation for the family back-to-school special event considered horror as they found their dad murdered, stabbed and taken in a laundry room awash with bloodstream. With a rush of adrenaline and terror, Jeffrey hid his youthful sibling, huddled behind the sofa, and called 911 where his mother had worked for years as a dedicated telecommunicator. The kids survived that day and their widowed mother fought to improve her family, but the horror, fear, and grief haunted them for years. In Finding Daddy, the kids, turned young men, describe their voyage from the terrifying moment they found their dad, through the 911 call and to the courageous years that could follow using their mother at the helm, guiding their survival. Told by public-safety telecommunications professional Sheila Hanna-Wiles, Finding Daddy is the inspiring true account of reconciling grief, overcoming fear, and looking within to discover the character necessary to fight and move forward in the storage area of a dad and a hubby taken too early. In a uncommon ironic convert, listeners will voyage with a 911 professional as that daily call becomes her own. The best difficult part of telecommunications is thinking about what took place to the people kept in their most critical moments. Finding Daddy brings listeners back again to the beginning and then to the inspiring concluding of a mother and two sons who traversed the impossible to a healed life.
