About this listen

When the legal system fails to convict an abuser, what do you do?

Meet Assistant District Attorney Lettie Portman, a sex-crimes prosecutor whose past demands justice. When a 14-year-old girl is savagely attacked by her mother's live-in boyfriend, Lettie is called to the hospital. There, she meets a sweet young girl whose only goal is to go to school and come home to a safe environment. But mom's boyfriend makes the girl's world anything but safe. Soon, the abuse gets worse, and Lettie, the prosecutor, goes to the grand jury with the case. Two juries later, the abuser is still loose on the streets.

Lettie is no stranger to abuse. She takes matters into her own hands.

Will Lettie's own past interfere with her prosecution of what should be San Diego's Most Wanted? Will she be able to make peace with her own abuse and move on to become the hard-hitting prosecutor the young girl deserves right now? Is hope on the horizon?

This was a good book. Kept me interested from the beginning until she continued to prosecute and have coffee after her son went missing? I thought maybe I missed something and it was a flashback? But no. Just didn’t seem plausible.

Good.. but

Therese Plummer does a fantastic job of differentiating among all the characters voices.

I appreciate the details the author put into the book; my heart goes out to all victims affected by the topic.

Excellent narrator!

Ughhh story is great, characters are too but WHYYYYYY DO MOST NARRATORS FEEL THE NEED TO TALK LIKE BABIES. If the book says a child is 5 or 6, that’s all I need. I don’t need baby talk from an adult trying to be a child. The narrator was also so breathy that it started to give me anxiety.

Why?!!
