"I have never read a book that dealt so expertly and dramatically with the private lives of those who survive incomprehensible tragedy. I highly recommend it!"

"A riveting account of St. Paul's most celebrated murder case, but with a twist. Especially fascinating is Swanson's description of the second 'trial' of T. Eugene Thompson, conducted by the children themselves after his release from prison."
