First, I must say it's incredibly surreal to read a book featuring people you worked with and a situation you witnessed. There's a lot I could say on that, but I'll refrain because the internet is forever.
This is a very thorough account of Lisa's racial discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against our former station and the situations that led to her pursuing legal action. If you enjoy courtroom stories, you'll enjoy this. While it's not my cup of tea, I did read this book quickly to learn many of the details we could not discuss after her firing.
My issue was the frequent repetition slowing the pace, which could've been fixed with a good editor. (But maybe I'm biased because that used to be part of our working relationship... lol).
