Reviews for Cry Me A River
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
4.5/5
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Cry Me A River by Ernest Hill gives another view of the Criminal Justice System. There is the chance to think about families who are involved with the need for justice immediately. Cry Me A River allows us to empathize for all who are facing a no win situation.It is an emotional book. Mothers cry many tears. Fathers cry many tears, wives cry many tears. Whether you committed the crime or whether you are one of the family members who have suffered the loss of a loved one for no good reason, Ernest Hill's book will in some way lighten your burden. It is a catharsis.
