JUSTICE OLDER THAN THE LAW

Katie McCabe

Dovey Roundtree's memoir, originally published 2009, in a new edition.
Interest inDovey Roundtree's life recently exploded after her incredibleNew York Times obituary, outlining her almost unbelievable biography, an unsung icon as an African-American female attorney who, among other successes, fought for the rights of a wrongly-accused black man for the murder of a high-profile actress who was rumored to be a mistress of John F. Kennedy. Her work in the courtroom can liken her to a black, female Atticus Finch - but the story of her life just starts there.

Katie McCabe, worked closely with Dovey Roundtree to write and complete this beautifully-written memoir, which was approved by her every step along the way before Dovey's death.
