Mistaken Identity

Have you heard this story? In 2006, two college students from a Christian school in Indiana were involved with six others in a van that was struck by a truck that skidded over the median. Five of the eight were killed. One that survived was Whitney Cerak, but there was a mix-up. Another girl's purse had been thrown, like Whitney, over fifty feet from the car. Badly injured with swelling and brain trauma, and looking similar to the other girl, Whitney was misidentified. For five weeks the other girls' parents, sister, boyfriend, and friends watched over her until she started to come out of her coma. Meanwhile, Whitney's parents held her funeral and buried the wrong body.

I bought the audio version of the book, about seven hours long. Here's an interview.
