"The inside story of one of the great political, legal and human dramas of the last decade ...a remarkable story told by a remarkable woman." - Duncan Campbell, The Guardian"A compelling read!....Janis Sharp fought every single day for her son Gary McKinnon's freedom, knowing that without her stamina, determination and most of all her boundless love, Gary would have been at the mercy of a US government who wanted to make an example of him. Janis has all my admiration and respect, not only as a mother but as a tireless campaigner against an unjust law. The day Gary was liberated of the terrifying fear of extradition was a great day not just for him and his family, but for all of us - a day when justice, compassion and human decency prevailed." - Trudie Styler"This book is essential reading, not only as an eye-opener to the way our freedoms can be threatened. Bravo, Janis!" - Julie Christie"A great read" - Anita Sumner"It is a fascinating read: inspiring, shocking... Equally, it comes as no real surprise that Sharp's book has several options to be turned into a film.." - Stephanie Marsh, The TIMES"The remarkable story of the woman who took on the courts to save her hacker son from extradition and jail in America."
