Hard to Place: A Crime of Alcohol
by Katherine Norgard
Hard to Place:
A Crime of Alcohol is a unique personal account about the difficulties
faced by a family when a loved one is charged with a capital crime. It
reveals the fine line between what seems like a clear case of guilt while
leaving the reader with doubts as to whether justice is served given the legal
versus medical/psychological perspectives of the crime and the complicated issue
of fault.
Dr. Norgard, a psychologist, offers compelling insight into the quicksand which occurs when medical disorders and legal consequences meet. She draws the reader into her riveting story of a devoted mother fighting to save her son's life after an incomprehensible tragedy strikes and she embarks on the most painful journey of her life.
Sister Helen Prejean, widely acclaimed author of Dead Man Walking, writes the foreword to Norgard's book. She describes Kathy as a dear friend who allows us into her soul in her un-flinchingly transparent story about her experience with her son.
This book is a must read, offering a glimpse of unspoken problems with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, the justice system, death penalty, medical/psychological diagnoses, and the victimization of the families of those convicted of crimes.
