Her story is told by her advocate and confidant, Lawrence H. Fisher. For more than five years his impassioned advocacy helped Tanya as she has reintegrated into society. He successfully blends Tanya's story with his own insight into the legal issues surrounding the controversial case that followed Tanya's release.
