Book Description
Kathleen Treanor couldn't believe this was happening to her. The young Oklahoma mother discovered that her in-laws had had an appointment in the ill-fated Murrah Building on April 19,1995, and they'd taken her four-year-old daughter, Ashley, with them. After days of waiting, she and her family found out that they'd lost all three loved ones. In the years since then, Kathleen kept a journal that describes her unspeakable loss. From the FBI's search for the terrorists and Timothy McVeigh's trial - where Kathleen was a witness - through Kathleen's involvement in the building of a memorial and her quest to have another child, Ashley's Garden details one woman's struggle to live. Although Ashley's Garden is Kathleen Treanor's unique story, the book provides a universally compelling view of triumph over grief, faith renewed, and healing restored.

I confess I bought this book with a lot of worry that I would waste both my time and money and was really surprised that I got interested so quickly. I highly recomend this book. It is a wellwritten account of what happened {I live in Oklahoma} It is really a moving book. I actually cried and it takes alot for a book to make me cry. It also made me stop and think about my relationship with god.I'ved read alot of the bombing books and this is one of the best.

This book is very wonderful and inspirational. It tells in full detail about one family's loss on that fateful day in Oklahoma City. It's great for people dealing with a loss or even for people who aren't going through a loss.

I started this book thinking it would take me a while to read it, but I read it over two days because I just could not stop reading. Kathleen Treanor's story is very personal; it's not just what you know from the news. And much of the book focuses on her healing process. She offers hope to anyone who has suffered a tragedy, not just those affected in Oklahoma or New York. I never realized how much the letters from school children meant to victims of a tragedy. Kathleen talks about how one day everyone else seems to go back to a normal life, and you can't understand how they possibly could after what has happened. Yet she eventually heals, and her journey is truly inspirational. This is a wonderful book.

On April 19, 1995, the lives of the Treanor family were forever changed by the tragic loss of their daughter and parents. The author describes through heart-breaking detail their struggle to survive and eventually triumph over this horrible chapter in their lives. As an Oklahoman, I started the book believing it would speak to all of us who experienced this terrorist act in our own neighborhood. By the time I finished, I realized this book speaks not just to Oklahoma, but to the world.
