Summary

In the heart of a flawed justice system, Leon "Hurricane" Lyons, a promising boxer with a future bright as the sun, is ensnared in a web of deceit and injustice. Accused of a crime he did not commit, Lyons is thrust into a nightmarish ordeal that tests the very essence of his being.

Behind the cold prison walls, Lyons faces the crushing weight of solitary confinement, a suffocating darkness that threatens to consume his spirit. Yet, even in the depths of despair, he finds a beacon of hope in Sarah Edwards, a determined advocate who believes in his innocence and embarks on a quest to uncover the truth.

As Edwards delves deeper into the case, she unearths evidence that casts doubt on the prosecution's narrative, igniting a groundswell of support from all corners of society. The fight for Lyons' freedom becomes a rallying cry, uniting individuals from all walks of life who demand justice and a new trial.

When the retrial finally arrives, the stakes are higher than ever before. Lyons, with unwavering resolve, takes a stand against the forces that seek to keep him imprisoned. The courtroom becomes a battleground of clashing testimonies and evidence, with the weight of the past hanging heavy in the air.

Emerging from the ashes of wrongful conviction, Lyons finds himself in a world forever changed. Haunted by the shadows of his past, he embarks on a new mission: to prevent others from suffering the same fate. He becomes a tireless advocate for criminal justice reform, fighting against the systemic flaws that led to his own wrongful conviction.

Lyons' story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of advocacy. It is a call to action, urging us to confront the injustices that continue to plague our justice system and to strive for a world where true justice prevails.

    It would be all so easy if we never got that call, heard those words that send you free-falling over the edge, stealing the breath from your lungs, and filling your mouth with a silent scream. But when that call comes, how do you take that next breath? What do you do when your heart stops beating? 
    Surviving a heart-wrenching journey that seems to have no end, who writes the survival manual for that best seller? 
    Catherine Ramshaw takes you on her journey, fighting to help two of her children to survive, one through near-death illnesses and an adopted child whose first three years inflicted a wound that will not heal. She shares the conversations she had with God, the scripture, and the difficult lessons she learned as she clung to His hand in the darkness. Her vulnerable and transparent account of the wrestling matches she had with God will inspire you to deepen your own conversations with the Almighty and learn to walk in faith, even in the darkness. 
    "What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops." Matthew 10:27

    “Julie Fingersh’s Stay is so rich, wise, funny, and beautifully written. It’s hard to put down once you start." 
    —Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
    Called “Profound, funny, and masterfully told by” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin, Stay: A Story of Family, Love, and Other Traumas is a riveting debut that captures the joyous and painful complexity of family love and loyalty, the cost of family secrets, and the quest to help the people we love most without losing our own way. It’s also a rare window into two of the biggest epidemics gripping society today: mental illness and chronic illness and the ways in which they affect relationships, personal identity, and the blueprint of our lives. 
    Told through the eyes of the author as both a young sibling and a mid-life parent, Julie Fingersh seamlessly weaves together present and past, unlocking the puzzle of her early adulthood with her struggling brother from the vantage point of a mid-life parent on the verge of an empty nest and her next chapter, just as her college-bound daughter’s life suddenly careens off track.  
    Sparkling with warmth, wit, and lyrical prose, Fingersh provides insight and sustenance for everyone wrestling with mid-life’s ghosts, parenting adult children, and the twin pillagers of fear and the inner critic. Above all, Stay is for readers who want to think, feel, laugh, cry, and perhaps see their own life’s trajectory and path forward with new eyes.
