Living with Conviction: A True Crime Memoir by Toby Dorr – Review by Mary Espinoza

Living With Conviction: Unexpected Sisterhood, Healing, and Redemption in the Wake of Life-Altering Choices by Toby Dorr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Have you ever made a huge mistake, and quickly learned that sometimes the lesson that was learned was worth it? That’s what happened to Toby, she was a dog trainer who would visit the local prison, and quickly finds herself attracted to John, a man who has been convicted of murder. Toby helps John escape from prison and finds herself on a journey that she never could have fathomed. Toby describes in great detail her experiences from meeting John, to helping John, to her time in prison for the crime of aiding a convicted murder of escape. To me, this book was a good read, it shows the audience what she was feeling and thinking. It was a page turner, and I am a huge fan of true crime and this book didn’t disappoint! I truly feel that if you are a fan of true crime, you will enjoy this book! And just remember, in the words of Toby, “You are more than your greatest mistake”
