Long Way Home: A Young Man Lost in the System and the Two Women Who Found Him by Laura Caldwell
The gripping story of nineteen-year-old Jovan Mosley’s fight for freedom after he was coerced to confess to a crime he didn’t commit.  When college-bound Mosley witnessed a murder in a violent Chicago neighborhood, he was wrongfully suspected by an indifferent police bureaucracy.  He languished in a maximum security prison while awaiting trial until his cause was taken up by criminal defense lawyer Catharine O’Daniel and lawyer- turned-author Laura Caldwell.  This taut, page-turning account of justice delayed is retold with a novelist’s flair.
