Favorite book of the year

Hello again from our book club. Yes, we have decided to all submit reviews for Portraits of Guilt. After seeing it in Oprah, we decided to try this book about this unusual career to open our minds to different ways of life, but we found a woman who fights seemingly all alone, when others have been injured. So we want to speak out for her! She is a real inspiration. The book is well written, a pleasurable read and opens your eyes to what is really behind the walls of "justice.:

Aint easy being green

I am a surgeon and a member of the RTR book club. As a woman in an essentially male dominated profession, I had to fight my way through medical school for acceptance and excell more than most men to be included in the ranks as an ordinary peer. The character in this non-fiction book spoke to me for her never ending battle in the in-house political realm of her work, just to be able to do her job. She has done it well is hailed now for her accomplishments, but she struggled every step of her career. I related to this story deeply and wanted to cheer out loud for her relentless pursuit of justice. Bravo! Excellent story.

Inspiring and authentic

This author writes from the heart. She has paid a huge price for her dedication to fighting for justice. I looked at her on the cover and had my doubts that anyone so beautiful could offer much inside, and I was so wrong. Boylan writes with candor, not trying to impress or be "writerly" but trying to tell a story that needs to be told. It is why I buy books. As a club, it is our favorite book so far of this year.

At the risk of being redundant

Sign me on. I give it a five star rating. This book has many stories inside, but the general theme is right over wrong, strength over weakness, honesty over deception, good over evil. The writer creates a compelling story by blending and weaving the tales of true cases into a singular format using her own story as the thread. The result is seemless and captivating.

Reluctantly Recruited

I resisted this choice of book for our July selection. I detest "cop stories" and thought this would be one. It's not. It is more like the anti-cop story. It is the story of courage, of an outsider taking on a cause. In the end of the book, (don't cheat) you find out what drives the central character and it is a turn that will break your heart. But the good she does in channeling her own pain is what will inspire you to do something grand with your own.
