Thanks for sharing this list with your readers. My favorite memoir of 2015 was “And They Found No Witches” by retired police sergeant Tom Alessi (http://www.twalessi.com/) <— his website has a lot of extras – photos, video, and more. He and four of his colleagues in the Rochester police department were indicted for crimes they didn't commit and the 2 1/2 years that followed were an absolute nightmare as they did everything they could to prove their innocence. The book covers the court case as well as the intimate details of how is life was put on hold for something he didn't do. He lost his job, his wife, and once he was found innocent he had to start all over again. It is amazing how these men stood and fought against the justice department, the media, as well as friends and family who didn't believe them. I cannot recommend this book enough. I hope you will check it outKaren Cnoreply@blogger.com
