The word "hero" is applied so often today it has attained the status of a cliche. The author turned away from the green pastures that beckoned to so many young lawyers and followed his conscience rather than the money. This is an unflinching look at a justice system that, for all its pretensions towards fairness, is irrevocably skewed towards the rich and the privileged in America. Mr. Saltonstall defended people who some might call indefensible and he walked side by side with some of the great men of the previous century. He emerges from the pages of this remarkable book as my idea of a genuine hero. This memoir could serve as a template for living a profoundly useful and selfless life. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

Before the author became a celebrated ghost-writer, author and literary agent, she was a mother, an addict, the “neighbor from hell”, and a convicted felon. In this incredibly moving, heartbreaking and often hilarious memoir, Hardin takes us through how she ended up in jail and became Mama Love to her fellow prisoners,bringing love and healing and support to them, but not quite dealing with her own sense of shame and self-hatred. Once released and navigating life as a felon on probation, she learns to forgive, self-compassion and forgiveness not only for herself but for others. She comes to understand that we are all works-in-progress and many parts of a whole; good, bad and in-between. I devoured this book! ~ Reviewed by Tambra Johnson Reap

Harsh takedown of the NYPD from one of its own. Raymond exposes the department's fixation on targeting minorities for minor infractions, forcing patrols to shortchange their roles deterring crime. By bravely challenging the institution's deeply hierarchical and bureaucratic culture, he is helping to remodel it into something more just. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare
