American mother

Summary/Review: It has been eleven years since Diane Foley's son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she would learn that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that would ricochet in video around the world. In American Mother, legendary author Colum McCann takes us inside Diane's extraordinary journey to find connection in a world torn asunder, and to fight for others as a way to keep her son's memory alive.
