AB "While volunteering at a women's prison, Doug Hood heard about a young woman incarcerated there, Panna Krom. The quiet 17-year-old daughter of a refugee family, she had been a model student. During her senior year, the shock of an unwanted pregnancy and its aftermath led to her highly publicized murder charge--ultimately an 18-year sentence. A medical worker with no legal credentials, Doug met with Panna's family, spotted problems with her case, and started digging for details. She had been hastily prosecuted and crucial evidence was ignored. During his three years getting to know the Kroms, he learned about their escape from the Khmer Rouge and the burden of Cambodian old-world culture on girls like Panna. And he found unreported cases nearly identical to hers--with vastly different sentencing. In a system offering few avenues for mercy, would the new findings make any difference in her case?"--Back cover
