People say that lightning never strikes the same place twice, but they are oh so wrong. On March 26, 2001, single mom KD Wagner and her son Bud found themselves in the throes of grief over the murder of Jeffrey. After this first lightning bolt of tragedy, struggling to reassemble their shattered lives, incredibly, September 11, 2001, strikes and their world changed again. Bud, serving on active duty in the U.S. Navy, rides head-on into Operation Iraqi Freedom while the storm clouds gather on the horizon. Yet again, the storm delivers a lightning bolt of devastation, killing Bud. With both sons gone, Wagner chronicles a journey unimaginable to any parent. She shares another gut-wrenching narrative of loss, anguish, injustice and deteriorating health. KD chronicles a solo navigation on her voyage as The Next Day Came and continued to come. Even when all hope seemed lost, KD held on with her fingernails through limitless resilience and managed to find hope. Along the way, KD shares the tale of a brave soul lost-his love of his family, his service to his country, and his unforgettable spirit. BUD: Homicide Turns a Blue Star Gold is a tribute to the human spirit and the love between a mother and her sons, a love that survives the cruelest of lightning bolts, the strike of death, twice.
