Accused

My Fight for Truth, Justice and the Strength to Forgive

By: Tonya Craft

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

Tonya Craft, a Georgia kindergarten teacher and loving mother of two, never expected a knock on her door to change her life forever. But in May 2008, false accusations of child molestation turned her world upside down. The trial that followed dragged her reputation through the mud and lent nationwide notoriety to her name. Tonya's life spiraled into a witch-trial nightmare in which she was deemed guilty before her innocence could be determined by a jury. Her children were taken away without even a good-bye, and her own daughter was forced to take the stand against her in a courtroom. The situation seemed hopeless, and Tonya was shell-shocked and heartbroken. But that didn't keep her from finding the strength to fight.

Accused is about more than Tonya's shocking trial and fight for justice. It is the story of a mother's extraordinary love, the faith that sees her through it all, and the forgiveness that sets her free.

Critic reviews

" Accused, the true story of a Tonya Craft's fight against the criminal justice system, is much more than a blow by blow account of a woman facing a prosecutorial steamroller." (Robert Whitlow, author of The Confession)

LOVED IT

TONYA CRAFT IS ONE STORNG WOMAN. WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH WAS HORRIFIC. I COULD'NT STOP LISTENING.
GOD BLESS HER AND HER CHILDREN

Great book, horrible story

This was a fantastic read, I love how detailed she got into the defense process and strategy. That said, this book has put me in a panic about every being around any children, EVER, especially alone. Thank God Tonya had the resources. Many don't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be able to defend this charge.

Wow! hard to believe this is our justice system.

This was one of those books that was hard to put down. it was almost unbelievable at times. A perfect storm of a mess. Unimaginable, sad, devastating.....the list goes on. I hope that real-life prosecution and judges were brought to justice. I found myself praying for her and the girls as I worked my way through the book. What a strong woman she is!

Loved it.

Your experience has been so eye opening. I’m so glad you stayed strong. God bless you.

As Tonya Craft said, nobody wins

I could not stop listening. It is amazing & sickening at the same time to think about how easily someone's life can be turned upside down by false accusations. And to what lengths someone will go to get revenge, even victimizing their own children in the process. Her ability to forgive is a true testimony of the person that she is. Fabulous book--sadly, it's not fiction.
