Alison Lester's ABC by Alison Lester

When Tom Evans reported for jury duty, he had no idea he would be assigned to one of the biggest and most notorious cases in Idaho history, if not the nation. The Lori Vallow Daybell trial turned his life upside down. By the time the trial was over he was changed in ways he's still struggling to understand. He knows two things for sure: He was overcome with the need to find some way to make something positive out of his involvement as a juror, and he needed to tell his story. Money, Power and Sex does both of these things.

Tom's jury experience started out being dark, heavy, and downright depressing. By the end of the trial, other, more positive emotions overcame the darkness. Despite all the horror he was exposed to and all the victims, living and dead, who he sympathizes with, by the end of the trial, he was filled with pride in the judicial system and honored to have done his part.

As this book covers the horrible events as they were presented to Tom in the trial, and the history that led to those events, he offsets the disturbing nature of the case with his firsthand exposure to the dedication and hard work on the part of the police, the FBI, the prosecution, the defense, the court, and the bravery of the survivors and their family.

After the trial was over, Tom was given exclusive access to some of the key people in the trial. Money, Power and Sex, follows his journey through the trial and the unexpected good he found along the way. Proceeds from this book will go to Hope House, an organization that helps children in need.
