All rights reserved.Mistaken Identity by Colleen Cerak, Mark Tabb, Newell Cerak, Susie Van Ryn, Whitney Cerak (2008)
| Synopsis After a head-on collision between a van filled with college students and a semi truck left five people dead, the Cerak family sadly buried their daughter Whitney while the Van Ryn family hovered anxiously over their daughter Laura who was comatose in the hospital with massive wounds to the face and neck. Slowly the girl in the hospital began to recover, to speak, and to remember things--but something seemed wrong. Her boyfriend was the first to suspect something was amiss. Finally, nearly five weeks after the accident, the astonishing truth was discovered: the girl in the hospital was falsely identified as Laura: she was actually Whitney, who had already been buried and mourned over by the Cerak family. A crushing blow to the Van Ryns, a Lazarus-like miracle for the Ceraks--the story became a national headline news and brought the two families together. Two years later, members of both families have joined to write this amazing and heartbreaking tale about the faith that sustained them through their bizarre case of mistaken identity.
Publisher's Note Two families forever bound by tragedy describe the accident that claimed the lives of five Taylor University student and the shocking case of mistaken identity that occurred--a mixup that led one girl to be buried under the wrong name and the only survivor in a coma cared for by the wrong family--the healing journey of survivor Whitney Cerak, and the bond of faith that sustains both families. 150,000 first printing. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Mistaken Identity My daughter read the book first and loved it, and then she passed it on to me. The tragedy that these two families endured would have tested anyone's faith in God to the max. Yet, with all the ups and downs, their blog seemed to help them release a lot of pent up emotion. God is so proud of these families that they continued to hold on to Him for strength, love and wisdom. Such a wonderful book and highly recommend it to every age group & gender.

I decided to buy the book because it happened so close to my home. I couldn't put it down once I started it. The book was a lot more than I expected....very gut wrenching and spiritual. I think I read thru it in a very emotional 5-6 hours. I would put it on the must read list. My husband now has it and my daughter is next on the list!
