Grace Orah was accused of mistreating her child, an accusation so absurd that the slightest digging into it immediately revealed the allegation as obviously false. Nonetheless, the accusation alone was enough to plunge Grace into years of legal hell, where she had to teach herself the law to become her own advocate, and find her way out.
