NJ Author Judy Mandel at Book Event

Replacement Child - A Memoir centers on the plane crash that was a series of three in neighboring Elizabeth in 1952. The crash killed Mandel's sister and left her other sister critically hurt.  Her parents' decision to have another child was the beginning of her story. A story of recovery, hope and forgiveness. Here's what one reviewer said:

"Mandel’s memoir is as riveting and gut
wrenching as any piece of thriller fiction I’ve
read."
