He Said, She S.A.I.D.

It's a parent's worst nightmare. The police busting into your suburban home, accosting you in bed, arresting you, and hauling you off to jail. All while your 10-year-old son watches wide-eyed, cowering in terror. Bruce McLaughlin lived through just such a nightmare. He was booked on charges of abusing his children-falsely accused by his wife during an emotionally charged divorce that had already permanently shattered and scarred their family. In his book, Bruce shares his confusion, rage, fear, and indignation as he was booked, tried, convicted, and jailed for an abhorrent crime he did not commit. Even as an attorney, Bruce found himself ill-prepared for the challenges he faced in proving his innocence, restoring his reputation, and rebuilding his life. Read his riveting tale of injustice and eventual redemption. Part memoir. Part thriller. Part horror story. This page-turner is a cautionary tale for parents contemplating divorce and shines a bright light on the need for a reform of the criminal justice system to ensure others are not falsely jailed.
