My Sweet Angel
By John Glatt
Archival Summary & Scope
"Chilling." —*People magazine*. John Glatt's *My Sweet Angel* is the definitive true crime account of Lacey Spears, the mother convicted of the 2015 "depraved mind" murder of her five-year-old son, Garnett. Spears poisoned Garnett with salt via his feeding tube, all while projecting an image of a devoted parent struggling with her son's "medical problems" online. A textbook case of Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, Spears deliberately made Garnett sick to elicit sympathy. Glatt meticulously reconstructs the shocking deception, investigation, and trial using Spears's exclusive prison interview, family testimony, police interviews, and never-before-seen social media posts. This factual and engaging narrative reveals the tragic reality behind the international headlines that led to Spears's twenty-year to life sentence.Categorization Notes
