Description

On January 6, 2004 in Detroit, Kym Loren Worthy was sworn in as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for Wayne County, Michigan. She was the first African American and the first woman, to become the county prosecutor. How did a little girl of modest means, raised on army bases much of her life, overcome family tragedy and personal loss to become one of America's top prosecutors? In her provocative memoir, Ms. Worthy describes the events leading to her rise in one of the nation's most dangerous cities. The daughter of a devout mother and military officer, Kym came of age in a time of great transition, and charged into the legal profession and changed it with her flamboyant style. She rose through the ranks, prosecuting the Malice Green case, where the defendants were police officers and most famously the Toni Cato-Riggs murder case where she convicted one the most notorious killers in Detroit. While making legal history, Kym also struggled with a personal life that mirrored the millions of newly professional women in American as they juggled family and profession, love and duty. In the process, Kym endured the loss of her mother, a harrowing sexual assault and survived the ultimate loss: the death of her newborn child. Writing in the first person, Ms. Worthy lets us bear witness to the suspense, heartbreak and triumph of a life lived within the strong currents of love, history, fate and faith. With novelist and screenwriter Gary Hardwick, Kym Worthy brings her compelling, true-life tale to readers with power, wit and a healthy dose of heart. As you take the journey that is Worthy Causes, you will be riveted and captivated, as it becomes just what its subtitle promises: a true-life legal thriller.
