Why, Gary, Why? Is a 2019 book by Joeseph Boyce "Jody" Plauché, son of Gary Plauché, who shot and killed Jeff Doucet, the man who molested Jody. The book is generally described as a self-help book.[1] Writing the book, Plauché said that he wanted others to benefit from his own story in some way. He also intended it as a memoir, saying, "Without [Gary] doing what he did, I don't know how I would have turned out."[2]
Book
[edit]The book is a story of the grooming and rape of Jody, and is a cautionary tale on pedophilia and kidnapping. The book doesn't go into much detail about the kidnapping and rape "as not to trigger victims."[3]
