Review & Description
Julia Horn has lived enough life in her 42 years to be twice that old--and in her latest memoir, tells us not only what she did during her time as a Chicago public defender, fund-raiser with the ultra-wealthy, religious sect member, and finally, semi-retired contented soul in the woods, but what she learned from it about the society we live in. This brilliant, terse memoir is not for the faint of heart: If you're looking for a fairy tale, Julia is not your storyteller. But if what you desire is an understanding of the probable cause for our current economic and social global crisis, this is the book you need to read. Julia's candor and cut-to-the-quick insightfulness lays it on the line while providing us with the hope we need to muddle through, see the light, then walk in it. Throughout her personal journey she goes beyond the introspective travelogue to offer us what we need to know about those in power who control our very sense of self. This is one of the most important messages of these troubled times. Read it and weep--for those who suffer at the hands of injustice in our courts, for those who are manipulated by money and power, and for all who seek a better solution to humanity's woes. We have the choice, as Julia explains, and the strength to change things. Yes, we can. Read more
