Sarah Standifird

Sarah Standifird’s book, Citizen’s Prey, offers a rare, unflinching look at what happens when families are forced to navigate the justice system after preventable tragedy. After losing her son Andrew in a crash that could have been prevented, Standifird transforms her grief into a powerful narrative that blends her longtime experience in the legal industry with the raw perspective of a grieving mother now sitting on the client’s side of the courtroom.

Her book reveals the painful truth that families are rarely prepared for what awaits them in the aftermath of loss. Citizen’s Prey shows how corporations use resources and tactics to shield themselves from accountability, leaving parents overwhelmed by procedures and deadlines they never knew existed. Standifird’s dual perspective makes her story uniquely credible, exposing the imbalance between corporate power and family rights.

“Citizen’s Prey is the book I wish someone had handed me the day my son died,” said Sarah Standifird. “I want parents to know they are not powerless, even when the system makes them feel invisible. My hope is that this book helps parents feel less alone and pushes for a system that truly values the lives of their children.”
