      I have come to appreciate the strength that lies within Sylvia, and the way she seeks positivity where most would not dare to look. There is hope in here, a palpable lack of a 'Why Me?' philosophy, and an ability to grasp at opportunity.

      Some cynics say the American justice system is hopelessly flawed. On the surface, Information and Belief seems to agree. The book is peopled with manipulative felons, frustrated probation officers, apathetic judges, and a state bureaucracy seemingly intent not only on defeating its own purpose, but on punishing its workers while coddling criminals. Probation Officer Natalie Fisher has seen it all, from the felon who insists he tests positive for marijuana because of oral sex with his dope-smoking girlfriend, to the serial rapist of young girls who cunningly presents himself as a loving grandson and father-to-be. Natalie deals with lawyers who council criminals on how to cheat the system, judges who ignore her recommendations, and physically dangerous situations. Yet despite the constant frustration and the stress of maintaining a gay relationship in a straight world, she remains undefeated. Street smart, brutally realistic about human nature, Natalie never loses her courage or her sense of humor, and somehow stays optimistic and compassionate. And she manages to make a difference. Information and Belief is a realistic, sometimes hilarious, often frightening, always compelling description of America's justice system. It is also the vivid portrayal of a young woman who helps make that system work.
