If You Lie Down in a Field, She Will Find You There

While in the middle of a divorce and in the process of reinventing herself, Doris Brown died suddenly in 1974. Two years later, a serial killer confessed to her murder. What propels this book is a desire to recover Doris’ life, which has been obscured by the spectacle of her death. If you lie down in a field, she will find you there, captures the cadence of family stories collected through interviews the author conducted with her siblings. Essays and memories by Doris Brown’s youngest children, Colleen and Laura, appear alongside spoken word anecdotes that contain the family’s oral history and tell us who she was.
