Miriam Luby Wolfe had everything to live for. As a junior at Syracuse University, she was spending her fall semester in London exploring her many talents: singing, dancing, acting, directing, and writing. But she never made it home. On Dec. 21, 1988, her plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 259 aboard and 11 residents on the ground--all victims of a terrorist bomb.

When the Scottish police miraculously returned Miriam's personal effects to her mother, Rosemary Mild discovered new dimensions to her only child: a writer/scholar/activist with the heart and insight of a philosopher.

Rosemary takes the reader on a journey from the intense grief of a mother's loss to the renewed courage inspired by Miriam's legacy of love, humor, and idealism.

The original 1999 edition of Miriam's Gift A Mother's Blessings—Then and Now has regrettably gone out of print, and the supply on Rosemary's own shelf has dwindled. Each year Rosemary presents five autographed copies of her memoir to the winners of the scholarships in Miriam's memory. But that book ended before the bombers of Pan Am Flight 103 had been apprehended. How could she ignore all that has happened in the ensuing years? Because the whole story must be told, Rosemary has authored Miriam's World—and Mine.
