The story of the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of brutal domestic violence. Over 26 years in prison cannot crush the spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the injustices she has experienced, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who cornered her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case -- and attract global attention to the troubled intersection of domestic violence and criminal justice. 译文(2): 黛比 · 皮格勒是一名残忍的家庭暴力的监禁幸存者，她的故事讲述了她为获得自由而奋斗的故事。26年的监禁无法摧毁这位坚定的非裔美国妇女的精神，尽管她经历了不公正的待遇，首先是一个两面三刀的男友殴打她，强迫她卖淫，后来是检察官因为她与谋杀虐待她的人有联系而将她逼入监狱，使她陷入生活。20年后，她的故事出现了意想不到的转折，两名新手土地使用律师在她的案子上初试牛刀，并吸引了全球关注家庭暴力和刑事司法的交叉问题。
