Based on Hancock’s own experiences, the book follows her childhood with her adoptive parents, Joyce and Buck, and the life-changing murder that left her facing confusion, grief, and fear at only eleven years old. Hancock writes about the years before the tragedy, the painful aftermath, and the difficult process of understanding the family history that surrounded her adoption.

Written with honesty and courage, A Murderous Mom addresses adoption, foster care, mental illness, transracial adoption, family trauma, and the lasting emotional questions adoptees often carry. Hancock shares not only the painful parts of her story, but also the determination that helped her continue searching for answers about her biological family.

The memoir is written with other adoptees in mind, especially those who are still searching for their roots or trying to make sense of unanswered questions. Throughout the book, Hancock reminds readers that the search for family history can be painful, but it can also bring clarity, connection, and healing.

A Murderous Mom also includes helpful resources for adoptees, adoptive families, and readers interested in adoption records, search and reunion, foster care, and transracial adoption. Through these resources, Hancock hopes to support others who may feel alone in their search or uncertain about where to begin.

At its heart, the memoir is about survival, remembrance, and refusing to let silence win.

The book speaks to readers of memoir, true crime, family survival stories, adoption narratives, and mental health awareness. It offers a raw but meaningful look at what it means to survive violence, question one’s past, and keep moving toward truth.

A Murderous Mom is now available through Bookshop.org, IngramSpark, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and other digital platforms.

About the Author

Denise Hancock is a social worker based in Virginia. A Murderous Mom is her first book. She writes from personal experience with the hope of helping adoptees and others affected by family trauma feel seen, understood, and encouraged to keep searching for answers.

The Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress in association with Lamar Advertising announces the start of “The Urantia Book Has Answers” billboard campaign with two billboards on the opposite sides of Nashville, north and south.

The billboard above appears on the south side of Nashville on I-65 and Harding Place.

“We are extremely excited to kick off this campaign,” said UCSP founder, Rebecca Bynum. “The importance of this book to the world cannot be overstated, and while we understand the reluctance of the Foundation and Fellowship to engage in media outreach, we feel the world is ready to hear the good news that this book exists, and it holds profound answers to the greatest questions of humanity—our history and our destiny. It is not here to replace Christianity, but to clarify, uplift, and enhance it.”

“The greatest questions of life—Why are we here? What is our purpose? What happens after we die?—are answered with detail and clarity not found anywhere else,” said UCSP founding member Tia Thompson.

“Right now, the whole world is watching as the existence of life on other planets is becoming impossible to deny,” added UCSP founding member Marti Garlow. “The Urantia book explains that the Universe is teeming with life, both material and non-material, and explains why we have been isolated for so long. Urantia Book readers have known about life on other worlds since 1955.”

The billboard above appears at Metro Center on the north side of Nashville.

“One of the most important revelations in the Urantia Book is the understanding that religion is primarily a personal spiritual experience,” said UCSP founding member Cheryl Phillips. “The spirit of God lives within our minds, and we can each enjoy direct communication with Him. We are all children of the living God, which makes us brothers and sisters in fact and in truth.”

The Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress believes the world is entering a new age of spiritual enlightenment and the Urantia Book holds the keys to our progress. We can no longer allow the book to languish in obscurity.

Talking Rock Golf Course at Quaaout Lodge & Spa at Talking Rock Resort has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Golf Courses by SCOREGolf for 2026, marking the course’s third straight appearance on the biennial list. Owned and operated by Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw (formerly the Little Shuswap Lake Band), Talking Rock is one of only a handful of public-access courses in British Columbia to hold a spot among the country’s best.

SCOREGolf’s write-up on the Graham Cooke and Wayne Carleton design praises Talking Rock as “a fantastic, forested course with dramatic mountain views.” While the double-dogleg par-5 seventh is considered its signature hole, the ranking points to the par-3 15th as the course’s biggest moment, calling out the tee shot’s view of Little Shuswap Lake as a highlight of the round.

More than 90 volunteer raters, unaffiliated with SCOREGolf, score eligible courses across nine categories including design, conditioning, and fun factor, with fun factor weighted heaviest at 20 percent of a course’s total score. Courses need at least 10 ratings logged over the past decade to qualify, and scores made before major renovations are discounted.

“These ratings come from more than 90 people who travel this country and know good golf when they play it. There’s no marketing behind that process, just what they experienced on our course,” said Cody Bell, General Manager and Executive Golf Professional at Talking Rock. “Holding our place in the Top 100 for a third straight list tells us the golf experience we’re building here is real, and it’s one we plan to keep sharpening as the rest of the resort grows around it.”

Talking Rock is open for the season, with tee times available alongside lunch and dinner options at Jack Sam’s Restaurant. Golfers can book a round or plan a visit at quaaoutlodge.com.
