Synopsis When Diane Downs arrived at an emergency room with her three fatally wounded children, she initially blamed their deaths on a stranger, but soon broke down during police investigation: she was the murderer. Ann Rule's gripping book explores the psychology of a tragic woman and reveals what led her to kill her own children. Rule is considered the queen of the true-crime genre (ever since her shocking THE STRANGER BESIDE ME about her real-life friendship with the serial killer Ted Bundy), and SMALL SACRIFICES is considered one of her masterpieces.

Publisher's Note In the bestselling tradition of In Cold Blood, The Stranger Beside Me, and Fatal Vision, comes Small Sacrifices, the harrowing, headline-breaking story of Diane Downs, a woman so desperate for love and attention that she would attempt to murder her three children to please a man who wanted none. "A work of resonance and revelation with breath-stopping tension to the end".--Kirkus Reviews.
