review 1: - My old boss LOVED this book and made it sound amazing, but I just thought it was fair. I found it repetitive, as the author kept describing the photos in question. I also found the court/attorney talk boring.+ The accusations were shocking and it makes you realize that you have to be careful when getting photos developed, no matter how innocent you think the photos may be.+ It was definitely something different and I never even heard of the book before! I like true stories :)
review 2: Rocketed through this book. Excellent story, well written, feels like it's unfolding in real time. The writer lived next door to the woman arrested for photographing her 8 year old nude in the bathtub. It felt so very pertinent to the child rearing issues in my own life as a... more lesbian and how near persecution can be -- yet, how powerful and prophylactic a strong community can be. Cynthia had spent her life caring for her neighbors and community building in Oberlin OH. When she became the object of a narrow-minded and power-hungry prosecutor, her community rose up and organized an effective resistance. A wonderful David & Goliath tale. less
