So, apparently, I:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the 5th Sentence.

4. Post the next 3 sentences.

5. Tag 5 people.

The book is “The Defense is Ready” by Leslie Abramson, a book given to me by my dear grandma, who always passes along the most interesting books. The chapter is “Baby Killers” :-p

Especially when you’ve been through hours of labor by yourself. It might have been a persuasive defense.

In any event, I didn’t have to get to that if I could prove that she never killed the baby because you can’t kill a person who was never alive.

I wonder about this meme; the wording is so poor. Why do I need to “find” the fifth sentence? If one wants the respondents to post sentences 6-8, just say so.

I don’t even know 5 people, so this chain is now officially broken.

    I interpreted it as 5-7 but was also confused.

    I first thought it was 5-7, too, but I took “next” as in “the next sentences AFTER the fifth…” Meh!

    The excerpt does make it seem like an interesting book. )

    It is a very interesting book, Amanda. Anyone who likes “true crime” sorts of books or examinations of human behavior would enjoy it.
