As the year 2006 dawns, Kim Crespi has what she later describes as "the perfect life"-until January 20, 2006, when Kim's husband David, a star in the world of finance and a loving father who had never so much as lightly spanked any of his five children, does the unthinkable. Dave murders their five-year-old twin daughters, Tess and Samantha. Murder by Medication? is a true story about a terrible family tragedy made more terrible by how preventable it was.

Meticulously researched, and including excerpts from Kim Crespi's journal, Edward L. Jones III takes readers into the heart of psychosis related to SSRI antidepressants, of North Carolina's penal and mental health systems, and Big Pharma. While Ed shares expert medical research regarding the treatment of depression without SSRIs, at the core of this story is a heroic woman who, despite unimaginable trauma and suffering, has found a way to forgive the seemingly unforgivable.
