| Scott Peterson's Half-Sister Writes Book Feb 3, 2005 |
| "Blood Brother: 33 Reasons My Brother, Scott Peterson, is Guilty." A state- ment from ReganBooks promises the book will reveal "in shocking and riveting detail, the untold story of Scott, Laci and the Peterson family." Bird was adopted at birth, and reunited with her birth mother, Jackie Peterson, and half brother, Scott, in 1997, according to a statement from ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins. According to "Blood Brother," Jackie Peterson gave up Bird and another child she had before her marriage to Lee Peterson. The book appears to be a product of Bird's attempt to work through complex emotional issues connected to a family she had become reacquainted with only five years before her sister-in-law disappeared. Bird at first fiercely defended her brother and even took him into her Berkeley home for extended stays when he became a hounded pariah. But Bird, now 39, struggles with thoughts of being a discarded child while repeatedly referring to Scott Peterson as their mother's "golden boy" the one "she had kept." The book says Jackie Peterson once demanded that Bird lie to protect Scott Peterson after he made a pass at her baby sitter less than a month after Laci Peterson had disappeared. "Bird was given away," said New York City psychotherapist Robi Ludwig. "That's a psychic wound that's very hard to heal, if ever, for kids who are adopted. They carry this wound of not being wanted. " "On top of that, Scott Peterson is the favored child and you have a case of sibling rivalry in a dysfunctional family. Not only is he the child who got kept, he is the child who got protected." Bird dedicated "Blood Brother" to the therapist who "helped me find my way" before she wrote the book. Peterson was convicted Nov. 12 of murder in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Laci, and the fetus she carried. The jury fixed the penalty at death. Formal sentencing is set for March 16. ReganBooks in January released the book, "Witness For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson," written by his former girlfriend Amber Frey. CBS subse- quently bought the rights to make a television movie based on the book. BOOK EXCERPTS BOOK -JACKIE PETERSON TREE HOME INDEX LACI CONNER TRIAL CASE INFO VERDICT |
