As a journalist, Suzanne O'Malley began covering the murders of Noah, John, Paul, Luke, and Mary Yates hours after their mother, Andrea Yates, drowned them in their suburban Houston home in June 2001. Over 24 months, O'Malley interviewed or witnessed the sworn testimony of more than a hundred participants in this drama, including Yates herself; her husband, Rusty Yates; their families; attorneys; the personnel of the Harris County district attorney's and sheriff's offices; medical staff; friends; acquaintances; and expert witnesses.

O'Malley argues persuasively that under less extraordinary circumstances, a mentally ill woman would have been quietly offered a plea bargain and sent to an institution under court supervision. But on March 12, 2002, Andrea Yates was found guilty of the murders of three of her five children. She is currently serving a life sentence and will not be eligible for parole until 2041.

O'Malley's exclusive personal communications with Andrea Yates and her interviews with Rusty Yates allow her to offer fully realized portrayals of people at the center of this horrifying case.

In Are You There Alone? O'Malley makes a critical contribution to our understanding of mental health issues within the criminal justice system.

I think this story is unbelievable. Very interesting and lots of relevant info for a true crime account. Unfortunately, I did not like the narrator and that impacted my overall review.

I like the way the story was narrated by Becky Ann Baker. Of course Suzanne (author) did a great job also.

Interesting story. Lots of things I'd never heard about this case. Had to take a break from listening to the somnolent, harsh voice of the narrator. I'll go back to finish listening because the story is interesting. Perhaps the narrators should be required to listen to their performances prior to releasing the book. The only voice harder to listen to was that of the author in the introduction.

Had to take a break from listening.

The narration gets a bit too detailed and too into the weeds for some of it.

Heartbreaking story not so great narration

I love how nasty everyone is in their review because the author went “too easy” on Andrea Yates. Further evidence that humans lack humanity; no empathy for anyone, and certainly no empathy for a woman struggling with mental illness.
The narrator had a good voice, and I enjoyed her reading. The book itself was done well, and gave information from a softer point of view; a point of view that didn’t think Andrea Yates deserved to burn in the lowest pit of Hell for her mental instability. She’s spending her life in a mental institution for what she did… How is that getting away with murder?

A Lot I Never Knew

A detailed portrail of Andrea Yates and the struggles this family went through trying to keep her from falling into the abis of mental illness. Such a tragidy for all. I found this story to be engagingly narrated and easy to listed to. It is done in a documentary style packed with facts and interesting commentary from the author.

Such a tragic story!

Very well written and easy to read (listen to). For those interested in mental health it is an interesting story of errors and blunders in judgment, diagnoses, and law.

If you enjoy true crime it doesn't get much better than this, a real insight to Andrea Yates and her tragic circumstance.

What does Becky Ann Baker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emotional and a sense of understanding.

Tragic

This case was huge right before I went to school for Psychology. Luckily such severe cases are rare but still happen. I love the way the author told the story.

Fascinating but sad story

a really tragic story. the narrator is sometimes flat, but I found her reading of Andrea Yates' tortured words in the hospital before and the jail after she murdered her children to be moving.

A tragedy of mental illness.
