Judy Shepard and The Meaning of Matthew

Published : Wednesday, 21 Oct 2009, 11:18 AM CDT

It's hard to believe it's been over 10 years since the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard -- a death that changed the world and a mother.

In her new book, Matthew's mother Judy writes about the life of Matthew and most importantly, the meaning of Matthew.

"The Meaning of Matthew: My Son’s Murder in Laramie, and a World Transformed," recounts Judy and Dennis Shepard’s journey from being parents to becoming nationally-recognized leaders for civil rights, not only for gay and lesbian people but for all who are marginalized because of their perceived differences.
