Mistaken Identity had the potential to be a phenomenal story of love, miracles and heartache. Like many other people around the world I was memorized by this story however the excessive religious passages taken away from what could have been an amazing story.
The story is full of compassion, from both families that endured these horrific events. You also read about the kindness of friends and stranger, yet the book seems to focus more on religion and how this "one" story caused many to convert to Christianity. Which in my opinion takes away from the struggles both families faced in their time of loss.
This book is filled with Far too much scripture and prayer which takes away from the true issues surrounding this story. This story left me with more questions than answers. How is it possible that the family was allowed to not identify the body and someone else did it. When my father died, I not only had to identify his body once but several times. At the funeral home, the church and before they closed the casket.
The book does not cover the accident itself and flips back and forth making reading at times difficult due to the numerous amounts of people involved.
I was also left to wonder about Laura and her family once it was discovered the Laura was Whitney.... This story is also Laura's and I felt as though her death was glossed over.
