Steven Truscott Decades of Injustice by Nate Hendley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so happy to have the chance to read this book. Its a case that every Canadian over a certain age knows about and lived through. Nate Hendley has put it into a timeline that is easy to follow and explains what actually happened back in 1959.

Steven Truscott was convicted of killing twelve year old Lynne Harper on June 9, 1959 in Clinton Ontario. He was only fourteen at the time, living on a forces base with his family.

This is a very heartbreaking story. Steven himself always carried himself with dignity no matter what was happening to him. It took many years and many fights to right this wrong.
