About This Item

Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 2006. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Inscribed and signed by the Author upon the ffep, 'For Bev, with love, Linda Spalding.' Very little to no wear. Quite clean. 'In 1978, William Acker and his young Mormon wife, Maryann, went on an armed robbery spree in two states that left two men murdered. Four years later, [the author] was living in Hawaii and was called for jury duty at the trial for the murder of one of those two men. . . The jury found Maryann guilty. Eighteen years later, Spalding stumbles across the journal she kept through the trial and tracks down Maryann, who is still in jail. She begins an investigation of her own to decide if she believes Maryann is guilty and to come to terms with the fact that she has held another woman's fate in her hands. Her search reveals much more than the answer to the principal question of Maryann's guilt or innocence as Spalding's growing understanding of the forces that drove Maryann's actions compel her to examine her own.' 295 pages. .
