In an interview, Powell revealed that she finished writing her best selling book under six months.
She said that she felt it was her “moral and ethical obligation” to tell her story.
“It was a book I hoped I would never have to write, if we could have made the system work and addressed prosecutorial misconduct through the courts or even the bar associations. But we couldn’t get anything to work. I couldn’t sleep without this story being told,” added Powell.
