Now, a year on, she describes her account of that terrible day and her personal struggle to face the senseless death of her son. From her growing fears for her missing son to her frustration with the official investigation and the bureaucratic delays she faced, her story is told with her uniquely vivid gift for language, with raw passion, and ultimately with the love of a mother. Her extraordinary strength and powers of organisation have led to the launch of the Anthony Fatayi-Williams Foundation to encourage multi-cultural debate, education and international peace. For the Love of Anthony is a story that will move anyone who has ever grieved for a child, inspire anyone who has ever longed for peace, and enrich everyone who reads it.
