LINDSAY CLANCY The Mother, the Mind, and the Case That Won't Let America Look Away
She was a labor and delivery nurse. A devoted mother of three. And then, on one January afternoon in 2023, she killed all three of her children.
Lindsay Clancy traces the case that has gripped the country — from the warning signs a fractured healthcare system missed, to the trial that left a jury deadlocked after seven days of deliberation. Was this a mother in the grip of postpartum psychosis, failed by the very doctors meant to protect her? Or something else entirely?
Drawing on court testimony, medical records, and the decades-old case that still haunts the conversation around maternal mental health, this book doesn't hand you a verdict — because the courts haven't reached one either. Instead, it gives you the full picture: the woman before, the unraveling, the day itself, and the question the whole country is still asking.
This is the story everyone's talking about. Now you can read what actually happened.
