Mommy S Little Girl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mommy's Little Girl: Casey Anthony and her Daughter Caylee's Tragic Fate is a 2009 biographical true crime book by novelist Diane Fanning about 2-year-old Caylee Anthony ’s disappearance from her Florida home in July 2008. This was the first book released about the case. [1] [2]
Casey Anthony, Caylee's mother, who was indicted for first-degree murder in the death, faced a capital murder charge in her trial. On the eve of jury selection, author Fanning appeared as a commentator on TruTV 's "InSession." [3] After the jury acquitted Anthony, Fanning told My San Antonio that she was "stunned" by the "not guilty" verdict. [4]
The Orlando Sentinel , in its 2009 book review, wrote that Fanning "tirelessly recounts the young woman's lying ways, theorizes how Anthony might have disposed of her daughter and concludes that Anthony is 'an individual whose self-absorption and insensitivity to others is a destructive force.'" [5]
The producers of CBS 's 48 Hours wrote in their review, "This timely account weaves together the details surrounding this highly publicized case. [6] And WKMG-Channel 6 in Orlando gave it a thumbs up, saying the book "condenses those thousands and thousands of court documents into an easy-to-read story." [7]

I liked the way the author made it realistic as if I was watching it play out on TV. I would recommend this read to anyone that loves true crime. I chose this rating because this was an excellent read and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Last summer, I was tired of hearing about the election for President on our news networks. So I turned on the Nancy Grace Show which was covering this story. Surprisingly, the author doesn't really write about Nancy Grace's impact on the show but I know most of the story because I have been following the case from last year. The story is based on the disappearance and murder of little Caylee Marie Anthony, a fatherless child, with a mother who refuses to identify her paternity unless it suits her. The author writes brilliantly with explanation and details about Casey Marie Anthony, Caylee's mother and prime suspect in her murder as well as the dynamic relationship that she had with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony. They refuse to believe their daughter is capable of such an act of murdering their beloved granddaughter. It's taken time in these circumstances when a family member is involved. The case has still not come to trial but Fanning has plenty of resources such as willing participants for her book and thousands and thousands of pages to sort through regarding this case in part to Florida's legal system. Even for those of us who watched the story unfold on Nancy Grace who covered this case intensively, I still found the book to be informative and useful in explaining the Anthony history background and the marriage between George and Cindy Anthony who cling to some hope by their own daughter in finding their beloved Caylee. I keep remembering the video of Caylee reading a book or sitting with her maternal great grand-father in a nursing home. Caylee was a beautiful child and now a beautiful angel in Heaven. Her tragic ending has captured our hearts even from those of us who never met her but how we forget her smile, her face, and her presence on television. The family had a compilation of Caylee's life in a video aired at the memorial to Michael Jackson's song, "Gone Too Soon." Then the story is about Casey, her young mother, whose bizarre behavior and actions during the time of her daughter's last day and when her mother Cindy finally confronted her is complicated and spun by a web of lies and deception. I feel sympathy to the Anthonys who had to deal with this double tragedy. It's horrible when a complete stranger abducts and murders a young child, but it's even worse when it's a family member. I feel sorry for George, Cindy, and Lee for their loss and it's not over until the trial which has not occurred. The book paints the harassment, confrontations on their front lawn, and other incidents where the Anthonys are met with angry protesters over defending Casey and believing in her innocence. I was surprised that Fanning didn't have much about the Nancy Grace show where I caught video visits of the Anthonys visiting their daughter in the county jail. She divides the book into three parts and the crime part is based on speculation and theory about what happened to Caylee Anthony. Fanning writes a disclosure on the first page of that part of the book. She is on the mark about the rest of the case as well particularly the frustrations of Casey's web of lies has on her own parents' lives.
I ordered this book on Monday and finished reading it within two days, because I could not put it down. Intriguing and revealing, it offered an inside look into Casey's dysfunctional family life and offered a glimpse into the background of her parents. While some may question the relevance of this inclusion, psychology tells us that to understand a person's mental state, you must examine their parents; that is, to understand the child, you must understand the parent. This author probes a bit into the background of Cindy and George Anthony, their marriage and subsequent problems, and offers some insight into how Casey grew up to be a pathological liar. While the book does not contain much information that can not be found by scouring the Internet, for newcomers to the case, it seamlessly pulls all the information together in one place. Casey's movements prior to and after her arrest are well documented and outlined, as is all the evidence. Transcripts of conversations held between Casey and detectives as well as emails, text messages, and conversations between Casey, her family, and her friends, can be read in chronological order. Additionally, The book identifies all the major players. From Casey's friends and lovers, to the lawyers, publicists, private investigators, and Orlando homicide detectives-- virtually all the people who helped build the circus this case became are featured. One notable exception to this is Robyn Adams, with whom Casey developed a jail time friendship with. I was surprised and disappointed that she was not included, considering the relationship she developed with Casey. The letters they exchanged were both revealing and exploitative in Casey's trial. However, since this book was published in 2009, while Casey was still awaiting trial, it's possible that her relationship with Robyn had not yet come to light. All in all, I found the book to be an excellent source of information for those interested in the Casey Anthony case, but who did not have time to religiously follow it online and on CNN. As another reviewer said, it is a Cliff's Notes in book form, designed to compile the information in one place. For the newcomers to this case, it is an engaging and interesting read, offering a look into a heartbreaking case that baffled the nation.
I bought this book after watching the jury selection for the trial, and I have followed (off and on) the case from the beginning. I plan to watch the proceedings and hope justice for Caylee will FINALLY be found. Casey Anthony is a sick, depraved, twisted and unfeeling individual. There is no grey area in that. That is the fact, clearly shown in the book, and that fact cannot be dressed up and made to look different when you simply take it all in, piece by piece, lie by lie. After reading all the facts laid out, I do not envy the team of lawyers assembled to un-ring the bell Casey Anthony rang...and rang hard. The book highlights, in rapid fire, the extreme way Anthony's world imploded in short order. Her tower of lies and half truths sprawl across the page. The balls of this woman will make you internally cringe, they are so far fetched and unbelievable. Yes, there is relatively no "new" information, but the author does a nice job summing it and making it easier to understand. Her parents outrage followed by total indifference when it comes to truth and fact and accountability will make the reader literally sick. The thing about understanding a case like this, with it's multitude of twists and turns and layers, is that often times facts get lost in the shuffle--like Casey habitual thievery-- having them all together, in one place, make it's easier to absorb and understand. This title is an excellent read for anyone looking to follow the case. It's short and fast and the pace keeps the reader going.
As a Brit I'd only read parts of this case and spoken to.several.American friends about this case but it was mostly about the trial. This book tells you about Casey's background which was interesting . It tells you.about her family and Caylees early life and the details up.until Caylee was found. I'm afraid it didn't change my opinion of Casey I still think.she had something to do.with her daughter's death and I think the trial was a total miscarriage of justice . That said I'm off to.find something to read on the trial
4.0 out of 5 stars
A readable, detailed summary of the unfolding situation.
I lived in central Florida when this story started to unfold locally and became national news - and I continued to follow it closely throughout the Summer of 2008. It captured everybodys attention from the moment the first report went in that Caylee was missing, a beautiful, healthy, loved 3 year old living in Orlando with her young mother Casey, and her doting Grandparents. The case got more and more strange with a new twist every day, keeping me 100% gripped.. right through Casey being arrested, released on bail, arrested once again.. right up until December 2008 when the remains of Caylee were discovered in a local wooded area and the only suspect still being Casey (now jailed pending trial 2011). This book filled in a lot of blanks for me. The media sensationalised a lot of the story and repeated old news and dramatic statements often - whereas this book provides a very detailed timeline, with lots of additional information about the case including personal correspondence within the Anthony family and other insights which I was very interested to read. It was a very worthwhile read and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in this case. I would like to read more books on the subject and suspect they will be released after the trial. I have actually already read this book twice and could easily read it again and again as it is well written, friendly but factual.. and the only downside is that it kinda now needs a second volume with the latest updates since early 2009 as quite a lot has gone on in the courthouse since. I have also loaned this book to a relative who also found it a fascinating read even though they did not have previous insight to the case. All in all - a great read, a good author and a very worthwhile, informative buy. ~ Rest in peace Caylee Marie Anthony ~
2.0 out of 5 stars
Hard going and confusing
A lot of discrepancies within the family. Too drawn out with what appeared to be red herrings. I would not choose to invite others to read this book as I struggled to keep focused.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Thoroughly enjoyable
Very well written and full of facts about this baffling case, just a shame that it finishes before the trial. Diane Fanning really is an excellent, highly talented author.
5.0 out of 5 stars

When news broke of three-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was one huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl's mother.
As the investigation continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey--her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition--a grand jury indicted the young single mother. Then, two months later, police found Caylee's remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence. Did she or didn't she kill Caylee? This is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing, and horrific crimes in modern American history.
THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH, IN-DEPTH ACCOUNT OF THE CAYLEE ANTHONY CASE
When news broke of three-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was one huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl's mother.
- Why did Casey Anthony wait one full month before reporting her daughter missing? - Why were searches on chloroform and missing children found on her computer? - Why did she go out partying with friends less than one week after Caylee disappeared? As the investigation continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey--her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition--a grand jury indicted the young single mother. Then, two months later, police found Caylee's remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence. Did she or didn't she kill Caylee? This is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing, and horrific crimes in modern American history.
