A Murderous Mom is a candid memoir of adoption, violence, grief, and the lifelong search for identity. Denise Hancock recounts a childhood shaped by fear, an adoptive mother charged following her husband’s death, and years of unanswered questions. Her story follows the painful path from secrecy and control toward biological family connections, understanding, healing, and lasting personal freedom.
More than a personal history, this book offers encouragement, reflection, and practical resources for adoptees and survivors seeking answers, connection, safety, and lasting hope.
