Simpson and shares riveting personal experiences throughout the book; one of which was the author being present at the epicenter of the Los Angeles Riots.From encountering a modern-day shunning after the verdict despite her opinion on the case, to dissecting all the elements that went into the decision of the jury; Patrice reveals an intimate look inside an average African-American's life during, and after the O.J. Simpson Trial. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
