Conversations with Kris is a collection of creative letters between a mother and her son after he is murdered. Their conversations tell of their life journey together. The narrative explores the drama of adoption, cultural differences, values, belief systems and traditions. Their journey proceeds in opposite directions, with no connection for ten years and reconnection through social media. The loyalty and love between parent and child endured through tragedy, hardship, and geographical distance to reunite after the son's murder by blunt force trauma.

Reviews for Conversations With Kris: Letters between a Mom and her Murdered Son

All in one thought a Dear Kris note that begins a mother's yearn to solve, to understand and find meaning. Caring for a child, worrying for a child and losing a child are some of the worst horrors of the life of parenting. This mother shares the story of her ongoing search. With words of love, hope and fear a conversation of Mother and Son engages us in that lingering love. How, just how, does a mother walk through this mir of life? This mother, Suellen, engages each of us in the thoughts, and the churning hopes that may give us a life after murder to live.. -Blairanne Revak, MD Conversations with Kris tells the first person story of a mother's love and support for her adopted son regardless of the life choices he made. It also tells the story of how a mother dealt with the untimely death of her son at the hands of another. Conversations with Kris will provide the reader with a story of true courage and strength by a mother who dealt with both issues. -Harley Feldman
