Description: This inside story of the Branch Davidians offers an intimate, firsthand account of how a boy named Vernon Howell became David Koresh. Haldeman paints a picture of her son that could only be told by one who knew both his greatest strengths and his deepest faults.
Review Quotes: In the many analyses of the Branch Davidian tragedy, what are missing are precisely these autobiographical voices of the 'Branch Davidians' themselves. In Bonnie Haldeman, the mother of David Koresh, we hear their voice.
