From murder to atonement: Author Colum McCann writes of a mother's survival In this edition of arts24 we discover an extraordinary book unlike any you've probably ever read. "American Mother" is a thriller, a memoir, a mystery: the story of how Diane Foley found answers and atonement after her son James was brutally murdered by the Islamic State (IS) group. He was a freelance journalist who was held captive by the IS group for two years before being beheaded in the Syrian desert in 2014. The video was shared online for all the world to see. In the book "American Mother", Diane Foley's voice has been captured by legendary Irish writer Colum McCann.
