Sophie’s Legacy

Sophie’s Legacy by Lesley Elliot (.MOBI)(.EPUB)mobi, epub reader, 

Sophie Elliott had everything to live for - good looks, intelligence,

friends, a loving family, a degree under her belt and a new job at the

Treasury in Wellington. And then, the day before she left Dunedin to

take up that job, she was brutally stabbed to death in her own home by

her former boyfriend, Clayton Weatherston. He was much older and one of

her lecturers at the university. When the public came to take his

measure at his high-profile trial in 2010, his narcissitic, manipulative

personality stunned the nation. Sophie's mother Lesley has

weathered the horror of her daughter's death, and the gruelling process

of the trial, to set up a foundation to help young women identify when

they might be in a relationship that puts them in harm's way - as Sophie

was, unbeknownst to her and her family - and how to seek help. This

book is Lesley's tribute to a daughter she adored, her harrowing account

of a tragedy no family should ever have to endure, and her inspiring

decision to make sure that Sophie's legacy endures. It's also her

challenge to the justice system on behalf of victims.
