New Release — The Crystal Gavel by sue Cochrane

How a family court judge, wounded and nearly broken by childhood trauma, brought compassion and love, wholeness and healing, to those in her courtroom—and to herself.

The Crystal Gavel tells the story of Sue’s journey from a childhood marked by poverty, alcoholism, and violence, through her own recovery and healing, to her quest to humanize the courts and to afford all people a genuine and dignified hearing.
