I don’t really rate non-fiction, and I don’t like the idea of rating this book. For the sake of NetGalley, I will give the book five stars, simply because more people need to know what’s happening while literally, NO ONE IS WATCHING. I live nowhere near Kentucky, but this makes me wonder…. what’s happening in my state because no one is watching? What is being swept so far under the rug that no one can vacuum it back up? This book made me so distrustful of those in power in my county, and rightfully so! Innocent people died in and around Pulaski County, and it is simply because of politicians’ ignorance, as well as (unfortunately) police ignorance, and a general unwillingness to take accountability from either parties. Darlene Price dares to speak up about a multitude of issues in this rather short volume. However she packs in as much information as possible onto a page, which props to her! Even though a lot of these issues she’s written about are in the past, that doesn’t mean that they should be so easily forgotten. What happened in Kentucky could happen in any state if we the people aren’t watching. This wasn’t just informational, this was a blaring warning.

This is one for the good guys. The heroes who may or may not wear capes. The ones who are unafraid to stand against evil.

The stories in this book are absolutely maddening, but also hopeful and inspiring.

At the end, the author mentions how she is not a wordsmith.. but she absolutely is. I was engaged from beginning to end.

Witty, passionate, inspiring, and may I say, kick ass.. now you can add "wordsmith" to that list.

One of my favourite books of the year.
