In the summer of 1994, Alison Botha was abducted, assaulted, and left for dead on a deserted stretch of road in South Africa. But she didn’t just survive—she fought her way back from the edge, identified her attackers, and reclaimed her life. This is the story of a woman who turned horror into hope... and made sure her attackers would never hurt anyone again.

In the dark waters of the Mississippi River, beneath a crooked mile of steel, two sisters vanished—and the truth nearly drowned with them.

What began as a quiet night to revisit a poem turned into a night of unspeakable violence, sexual assault, and murder.

But what followed was just as disturbing: coerced confessions, missing evidence, accusations of racism and police brutality, and a justice system more interested in convictions than truth.
