Description
A book not only about how the story of one crime was constructed -- but about how we grapple with our own personal histories. Along the way it tackles questions about the nature of forgiveness, and if a single narrative can ever really contain something as definitive as the truth. The fact of a body shows how the law is more personal than we would like to believe -- and the truth more complicated, and powerful, than we could ever imagine.
