In a riveting, brutal, raw, sexually driven memoir, retired Washington, D.C. Federal Judge Lillian McEwen reveals the obsessions and vulnerabilities that drive us all. She disrobes Washington, D.C. establishment and puts readers in bed with the men and women who make policy for the United States of America. With breathless courage, McEwen draws readers through a punishing childhood and through intoxicating layers of survival and a life lived. With grace and honesty, she reminds us all of the human condition and the reality that we cannot move through this world without being survivors of something.
