Stiff Card Wraps. Condition: As New. First Edition. In 1962, two-year-old Vernon Boudreau died, his death officially described as accidental. Three decades later, children of the woman who had been babysitting him when he died claimed that he had been murdered, a charge supported by expert testimony. After a preliminary trial the accused appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, whose judges decided that because it had been so long since the boy's death, her actual trial should be stayed in order to protect her rights. Vernon Boudreau's mother here tells her son's story, from his birth through the tragedy of his death, with details of events that followed the murder charge 30 years after the event. Beneath her signature Steele has written "Author & mother of Vernon. Please read my book with a caring heart." 190 pages (including letters, appendices). An unread copy. Size: Small octavo. Signed by Author(s). Book.
