Book overview
A prosecutor's unforgettable journey from rookie lawyer to seeking justice against the accused in some of the nation's most heart-wrenching murders.
The wrong names are often remembered after the gavel drops.
While headlines focus on criminals, the real story lies with the families forever changed by their crimes. Departing from the perspective of the accused, Mother, Murders, and Motivation offers readers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at pursuing justice in small-town America amid some of the most emotional and complex murder cases.
