Twenty years later, she decides to contact his murderer in prison, and by doing so comes across startling new information about the crime. In this powerful and emotional memoir, she learns of his horrific childhood, and the reasons he lied about the murder; in turn, he learns about the man he killed.

I applaud Carys Cragg's personal journey, and the graceful and highly articulate writing she employs to share her journey with readers. --Amber Dawn, author of <i>Sub Rosa</i> and <i>How Poetry Saved My Life</i> <p/>With remarkable candour and extraordinary insight Carys Cragg's memoir examines central elements of transformative justice--truth, responsibility and punishment.
