Book Nook - Citizen's Prey

Sarah Standifird is an author, advocate, and nationally recognized voice on distracted driving and road safety reform. Her book, Citizen’s Prey, exposes the hidden realities families face in the aftermath of sudden loss, from strict legal deadlines to systematic failures that prioritize profit over human lives. More than a memoir, the book serves as both a survival guide and a call for reform, reminding readers that behind every case file is a family forever changed.

Some of the insights Ms. Standifird’s book offers include:

• The true story of her son, Andrew, whose life was lost in a preventable crash, grounding the book in both personal tragedy and urgent calls for reform.
• Why families are blindsided by complex legal procedures immediately after tragedy, and how this compounds grief.
• How corporations deploy resources and tactics to shield themselves from accountability, leaving families overwhelmed.
• Why the justice system often feels cold and unyielding to grieving parents, despite its promise of fairness.
• Why preventable crashes expose systemic failures that prioritize profit over human lives.
• The dangers of distracted driving: How distracted driving, including social media use behind the wheel, creates deadly risks that devastate families and communities.
