Reviews

"Engrossing, emotionally compelling. . . . An unlikely tale of resilience and redemption, told in sensitive, straightforward fashion."--"Entertainment Wee"kly, March 3, 2006

"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!"
Ann Rule, author of "Green River, Running Red "and "Worth More Dead
"

"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."
Larry Millett, author of "Strange Days, Dangerous Nights: Photos from the Speedgraphic Era" and "Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murders
