Memoir of Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich about her days as a young law student and the summer internship in Louisiana that confronted her with the case of convicted murderer Ricky Langley, whose face and voice triggered in her an emotional wish for his death. Surprised, because she had been staunchly against the death penalty, she investigated Langley's case, and unearthed long-buried family secrets of her own and discovered that her past could color her view of her legal cases.
