Utah mom’s children’s book sparks outrage over husband’s killing

A Utah mother of two is facing backlash after publishing a children’s book about a woman who kills her husband. The book titled “The Vindictive Witch” was written by Cecilia Lozano-Díaz and illustrated by her husband. Lozano-Díaz claims the book is not autobiographical, but critics argue the plot is too similar to the author’s real-life circumstances. The author was charged with second-degree murder for killing her husband in 2021, but the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The book’s publication has sparked outrage, with some calling for a boycott of the book and others defending Lozano-Díaz’s right to free speech. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/us/utah-mom-childrens-book-husband-killing-cec/index.html
