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?

Narrator did a brilliant job of portraying this story.
Tough subjects dealt with and not glamourised.

Great story but a tough listen in parts

It was okay but nothing to stand out. I don’t think it will entice me to read any more of the series.

Horrid subject

I liked the performance and basic plot. However some of the storylines were a bit incredible and the timelines for getting matters to trial totally unrealistic. Overall I enjoyed it though.
