"As a children’s rights attorney and someone who has worked with children my whole life, I found Alex’s story so eye-opening. She really nailed the legal system, the way that DAs and the court process work, and how “justice” is often a commodity only available to those with privilege.

You may even learn how to think more critically, channel more positivity, question reality, self-advocate, be a better friend, listen to your gut, and look for the love in every situation." -Tamara Schane, Amazon review
