When two police officers responding to a 911 call rescued a teenager from an apartment where she was babysitting, they found Wilma Chestnut bleeding from both eyes. She was unable to tell them what happened because she was in shock. The soon discovered that Wilma’s eyes had been cut by one of three men who robbed her. The only problem was that she was unable to identify which one it was, just as her assailant planned. It seemed that he had committed the perfect crime.
Had he? Doctors in the emergency room determined that Wilma had been permanently blinded. News of the crime horrified St. Louis, and the story was soon on the front page of newspapers across the nation. It even made headlines internationally. At a moment when Chestnut doubted her faith, she was overwhelmed by an outpouring of charity from friends and strangers alike. Fundraising surpassed $100,000 in three months (that’s about a half-million in today’s dollars). Michael Jackson paid her a visit. Frank Sinatra called and they became pen pals. He also paid her medical bills and promised to pay for an eye transplant.
Wilma faced her attacker in three separate trials, and he claimed innocence each time. Did he escape justice? Find out in this fascinating biography, the first and only detailed account of the crime and its aftermath.

Pretty interesting. I am familiar with the community and the story. Many young ladies were afraid and households doubled lock their doors during this time. Ms Chestnut is a very brave soul and her tragedy has taught us about the many good people do exists and they outnumber the bad. The payback one receives for hurting the innocent is immeasurable.Product details

Its ok
SAD, BUT INTERESTING STORY WITH MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE. IT KEPT ME WANTING TO KNOW MORE. I WANTED TO GET TO THE END OF THE MYSTERY. A STORY IS WELL WRITTEN WHEN IT KEEPS THE AUDIENCES' ATTENTION.
I was a very young girl when this horrible crime occurred. Surprising after all these years, I remembered the names. This story was very well written. A true story of courage and determination
Wilma is one amazing woman! Her strength and attitude after suffering such an ordeal is and/or should be encouraging to all who read or hear her story. This book was recommended to me by my Sister Stacie. Stacie, thank you, thank you, thank you and Wilma, "You go girl!"
I remember the story from the news when it happened. I met Wilma Chestnut today at a book signing and she is a remarkable woman. I read the book a couple of weeks ago on my . She has always been an incredibly strong person and is to be very much admired. The book was well written and quite engaging - hard to put down. I was really excited to meet her - she is very nice and down to earth; a well spoken woman who not only overcame tremendous obstacles, but who kept living her life by moving forward and embracing the positive things about her life. I would say it is a book that is not to be missed.
