Síntesis:

"From a former federal prosecutor turned champion of the wrongfully convicted, this powerful and profound book follows the stories of women reclaiming their freedom and creates a new blueprint for remaking our deeply flawed criminal legal system." -- Inside front jacket flap.

Working with the Innocence Movement and Leigh Stubbs, a woman denied a fair trial largely due to her sexual orientation, a former federal prosecutor weaves Leigh's story through the broader story of a broken criminal system.
