Overview

But her superiors see things differently. Instead of victim, they see her as the perpetrator and charge her with dereliction of duty and drug use. Defended by a tough-as-nails attorney, she is acquitted on a technicality. Unsatisfied, however, with the judge's pronouncement that she is ""not guilty,"" it will take Rebecca twenty years to prove her innocence and, along the way, change forever the direction of her life.

Reviews

""John Wemlinger writes some of the best, true-to-life fiction of any author I've read lately. Finding Innocence, however, may be his best yet. I've seen it from the bench; gender bias exists, and the military isn't exempt. In fact, the problem may be more pronounced there. US Army Sergeant Rebecca Farnsworth is a fictional character drawn from Wemlinger's military experience. He makes it crystal clear that the Army's sacrosanct chain of command isn't without its flaws. Yet Farnsworth manages to rise above it and becomes a force for positive change. Timely! Suspenseful! Moving! You won't want to stop reading this one!"" -Allen Garbrecht, Michigan Circuit Court judge, retired ""I am a lawyer by training and a family law attorney by choice. In my thirty-five years of practice I witnessed firsthand the conflicts rending families apart. The conflicts are age-old ones that men and women have forever faced. With the Army as the backdrop, Finding Innocence has so much to say about a compelling problem of our day and it does so in such a forthright way, it is a must read. Make no plans when you begin this book. It will grip you and you won't be able to put it down."" -Julé Crawford, retired family law attorney
