Description: BRAND NEW HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKETGIFT QUALITYHFIRST EDITION 1st Edition This #1 New York Times bestseller is not just a book about a trial. It's a book about a woman. Marcia Clark takes us inside her head and her heart. Her voice is raw, incisive, disarming, unmistakable. Her story is both sweeping and deeply personal. It is the story of a woman who, when caught up in an event that galvanized an entire country, rose to that occasion with singular integrity, drive, honesty and grace. In a case that tore America apart, and that continues to haunt us as few events of history have, Marcia Clark emerged as the only true heroine, because she stood for justice, fought the good fight, and fought it well. It's not especially original or well written, but by the last page you'll feel as burnt out, beaten up, and victimized as Marcia herself. You'll also feel strangely exhilarated. Tough prosecutor Clark, accustomed to victory, finds out she might not be as different from battered wife Nicole Brown Simpson as she originally thought. -- Entertainment Weekly, Dana Kennedy This capacity for single-minded passion drives Ms. Clark's outsized persona as a brainy, sexy, brash, foulmouthed, inhale-without-apology, post-feminist, workaholic-but-maternal, tough-but-vulnerable female. And throughout her book that passion hints at a story that never quite emerges--an epic of disastrous confrontation with America's heart of darkness, centered on the metaphorical resonance of the Simpson trial. -- The New York Times Book Review, Ellen Willis Author California native Marcia Clark is the author of Guilt by Association, Guilt by Degrees, Killer Ambition, and The Competition, all part of the Rachel Knight series.
