Product Description:

Meet Laura Van Ryn and Whitney Cerak: one buried under the wrong name, one in a coma and being cared for by the wrong family.

This shocking case of mistaken identity stunned the country and made national news. Would it destroy a family? Shatter their faith? Push two families into bitterness, resentment, and guilt?

Read this unprecedented story of two traumatized families who describe their ordeal and explore the bond sustaining and uniting them as they deal with their bizarre reversal of life lost and life found.

And join Whitney Cerak, the sole surviving student, as she comes to terms with her new identity, forever altered, yet on the brink of new beginnings.

Mistaken Identity weaves a complex tale of honesty, vulnerability, loss, hope, faith, and love in the face of one of the strangest twists of circumstances imaginable.

I don't usually read non-fiction books, but ...
I enjoyed this book a lot. It's amazing and scarey that something like this mix-up could happen, but equally as amazing that the two families were able too accept and not blame others for it. I'm a Christian but I'd like to live my life closer to God the way these two families have. I'll be looking online to see what's happened to the two families since the book's publication.

mistaken identity
Very heartfelt story. I bought three copies of this book after I read it because I wanted to share it with others. The amount of faith, love, happiness, sadness and mercy in this book should be a lesson to everyone. It certainly was to me.

Sad but uplifting
I very much enjoyed this book - the level of detail was so great that I felt like I was really there, watching the terrible true story unfold. It's true, the religious element can get a little bit much and I did find myself skipping over some of the longer Bible passages. That didn't even come close to ruining the book for me, though, because the story was enthralling. At times the book had me near tears, but it's also strangely uplifting. The families are both an inspiration in the way they dealt with what happened to them, and I wish them all the best for the future. Definitely recommended.

You could learn a lot
I saw the story on the news, but the book really tells you so much more.Not only do you learn so much about this tragic story, but you learn a lot from the families by how they stayed so connected and so strong. Although there were parts i thought i would cry, i recommend it.
