Working for Justice

De: Amy B. Chesler

Narrado por: Libby McKnight

When beloved educator Hadas Winnick was murdered, her sleepy, affluent hometown of Calabasas was rocked to the core. More shocking than her killing, though, was the process of convicting her admittedly guilty murderer.

Calabasas is a quiet, well-to-do California town often referred to as “The Bubble”. But on September 25th, 2007, that bubble burst with the murder of one of its longtime residents - high school math teacher Hadas Winnick. The upscale community was rocked by her gruesome death, but as shocking as the tragedy seemed, the years of abuse she faced that preceded it were more so. Even more devastating still, was the effort and time it took to sentence her murderer to prison, and the power that our systems-in-place allowed him while on his way there. Follow Hadas' daughter, award-winning blogger Amy Chesler, on her often heart-wrenching - but eventually heartwarming - road to justice.

Unconditional Love

Thank you Amy for your heart felt autobiography about your family’s lives. Your mom must have been fantastic. Please keep writing! God Bless you!

Great book, mediocre performance

I was introduced to Amy's story through the Something Was Wrong podcast. I was drawn in to her storytelling and her passion for sharing her mother's story. After hearing the author share her story in her own voice, I regret listening to this book as an audiobook instead of actually reading it myself. The performance is lacking. The reader often ends sentences as if they are a question or as if the thought itself is incomplete. I am planning on finishing the audiobook, but may purchase a hard copy. I just don't think the reader was able to make the same impact that Amy herself makes when telling her story.

Regarding the story itself- Amy eloquently shares her love for her mother, her grief, and her growth. I would highly recommend this book!

loved every second of this book.

the story is extremely sad and impowering at the same time. Amy had endured so much in her life and has overcame it and learned from it.

So gripping, heartwrenching, and an incredible love story to Amy’s mom

I couldn’t turn it off! Every sentence and chapter revealed more insight into a daughters fight for justice and an incredible story of love for her mother. So well done!
