Miriam’s World -And Mine

by Rosemary Mild

Here’s the set-up:

Mother of Bombing Victim Chronicles Her Journey from Grief to Grace Despite Justice Undone and Political Betrayal.

“I plan to sing and dance my way through life, become internationally famous and live happily ever after,” Miriam Wolfe wrote in her high school yearbook. But her dreams ended brutally in December 1988. Returning home from a Syracuse University semester in London, she died in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Join her mother, Rosemary Mild, on her jagged journey from the grief of losing her only child to renewed courage inspired by Miriam’s legacy of love, humor, idealism—at age eleven she wrote to President Jimmy Carter, advising him on how to save the environment. Miriam’s World—and Mine leads us through two decades up to the present, revealing the saintly people of Lockerbie; the stalwart Pan Am families who spearheaded a law for improved airline security; the investigation by the CIA, FBI and Scotland Yard. And the harrowing trial of the two bombers. Most anguishing of all is the convicted Libyan bomber’s release, truly a betrayal of the 270 Flight 103 victims. Even today, how can a mother let go of anger (and should she?), when governments value politics over the lives of our innocent loved ones?

But wrapped around these nightmares, you’ll find comfort and joy—optimism undefeated—in the array of families’ memorials: scholarships, sculptures, a baseball field, and the Syracuse University Remembrance Quilt.

Finally, curl up with Miriam’s wisdom and wit in her entertaining stories, poems, diaries and essays.
