KD Wagner's #1 International Bestseller, Bud - Homicide Turns a Blue Star Gold, is an inspiration to grieving parents

Dr. KD Wagner, whose mission is to honor her two sons and inspire others to find purpose in their pain, launches her second bestselling memoir.

FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, April 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. KD Wagner is a multiple #1 International Bestselling Author, Eippy Award winner, and international speaker. She is also a Gold Star Mother—her older son Bud died while serving in the U.S. Navy during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Dr. Wagner’s story is one of overcoming adversity. She became a single parent at 23, with two sons under three years of age. To provide for their needs, she worked hard jobs with long hours, including as a law enforcement officer and a professional truck driver. Like many parents, Dr. Wagner lived for her children.

Then tragedy hit, and Dr. Wagner lost both of her sons in separate homicides just two years apart.

To help her deal with these violent losses, Dr. Wagner began writing her sons’ stories, through which she revealed her own journey with depression, addiction, planned suicide, and survival.

Her first book in The Next Day Came Trilogy, Jeffrey - The Injustice of Murder, explores the legacy and life of her son Jeffrey, murdered by gun violence, at 18. This #1 International Bestseller is a story of love, loss, and survival. The second #1 International Bestseller, Bud - Homicide Turns a Blue Star Gold, shares the story of her older son, Bud, who was killed just two years later while serving in the U.S. Navy. To top off the trilogy, Dr. Wagner is currently completing a book about her own personal journey, Kathy - How I Survived Tragic Loss, to be published shortly.
