Owings Mills, MD, January 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Free To Grieve: A Mother's Memoir In Black and White is a mother’s moving and powerful narrative about a remarkable son who died too soon. It is the true story of Timothy Q. Scott, an avid-athlete who starred on his high school football team at Owings Mills High School.

This revealing and honest memoir is about the events surrounding her son's sudden death and how she came to pull herself from the depths of grief and sorrow to service and public awareness.
“How many more young athletes have to die before heart screenings are taken more seriously?” Scott-Williams asks. What was the price for my son's life?
