The Fugitive's Sister

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Police shackle and handcuff a grandmother

Linda made a promise to her brother, Dan, on his deathbed

to take care of their younger sister, Becky, in his absence.

Two days following Dan s funeral, Becky s company was

raided by the FBI and shut down. Ultimately, Becky was

convicted by a jury of numerous white-collar crimes and was

looking at a sentence of up to seventy-five years in prison.

Prior to sentencing, Becky escaped, disappeared and became

one of America s Most Wanted fugitives; then she contacted

Linda for help.

Although Linda was raised to protect and support her

family no matter what , her dedication and commitment to

her sister ultimately landed Linda in jail. As Linda struggled

to stay alive and maintain her sanity behind bars, Becky was

living the high-life in another country.

Intense and intertwined, Linda s unusual story of grief and

loss, The Fugitive s Sister, reveals how quickly an American

Dream can become an American Nightmare. What happens

next is a warning to all...

You have quite a story to tell. I can see this going to film,

TV, or somewhere important. So many lives were affected by

this. Randy Peyser, author of Crappy to Happy as

featured in the movie Eat, Pray, Love.
