In 1994, Timothy Wilson Spencer, the Southside Strangler, made history as the first person in the U.S. to be convicted and executed based solely on DNA evidence. But behind the headlines lies the untold story of the family he left behind.

In History in the Making: The True Story Of The First Person In US History Convicted and Executed Based On DNA Evidence,

Travis R. Spencer, Timothy's younger brother, reveals the devastating impact the case had on his family. From a mother's steadfast belief in her son's innocence and the strength she showed, to the shame and rejection they endured, this is a powerful account of survival in the face of unimaginable stigma.

This gripping memoir uncovers the hidden side of true crime-the collateral damage suffered by those tied to a killer by blood. Emotional, thought-provoking, and deeply human, History in the Making is both a window into a landmark criminal case and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
