Framing Innocence - A Mother s Photographs, a Prosecutor s Zeal, a Small Town s Response

Informationen zum Autor Lynn Powell is the author of two books of poetry, Old and New Testaments and The Zones of Paradise. She lives with her family in Oberlin, Ohio. Klappentext Ten years ago, amateur photographer and school bus driver Cynthia Stewart dropped off eleven rolls of film at a drugstore in Ohio. The rolls contained photographs of her eight-year-old daughter Nora, including two of the child in the shower--photos that would cause the county prosecutor to arrest Cynthia, take her away in handcuffs, threaten to remove her daughter from her home, and charge her with crimes that carried the possibility of sixteen years in prison. The disturbing case would ultimately attract national attention, including stories in USA Today and on NPR. Written by poet Lynn Powell, a neighbor of Cynthia Stewart's, this story plumbs the perfect storm of events and people that threatened an ordinary family in a small American town.--From publisher description.
