The siblings of Travis Alexander, the victim in the Jodi Arias case, published an e-book Tuesday that was written by their beloved brother.
The book, entitled “Raising You: Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones, The Roadmap to a Better You,” is a self-help book. In its prologue, Alexander's siblings write that he began working on the book in his 20s. Alexander's brothers and sisters say they found the book on his hard drive after his body was discovered in Mesa, Arizona, on June 9, 2008, and this is the first time it has been released to the public.
“As Travis [Alexander’s] surviving siblings, we publish this book to honor him, and to further his goal of aiding others for success in their own endeavors,” reads the book's prologue.<snip>
