“As a former federal prosecutor and trial court judge in California, I have seen firsthand the unnecessary pain and damage inflicted upon sick and mentally ill people by our policy of Drug Prohibition. You are about to read one more heartless and heart-wrenching example, and unfortunately there are many more.“

“It is a well written page-turner that vividly illustrates the sad state of our justice system and the baneful effect of the “war on drugs.” It left me, a hardened veteran of the drug wars, empathizing with the author as she woke up to the realities of our failed drug and court system. It should be read by everyone who has a sense of fairness.”

“As a long time chiropractic physician, I have firsthand experience with patients who are in pain and in some cases, after doing everything they possibly can to try to alleviate the pain, continue to suffer. Reading this book really hit home with me. I could not put the book down. It was very easy reading and it broke my heart to read Nancy’s story. I have had numerous occasions to attend hearings, trials and pay visits to inmates at both the county jail and state prison. “A Painful Truth” is a fitting title to describe what many are dealing with as they find themselves in a very painful predicament that they never dreamed would happen to them.”

“Our laws are not perfect and the more we ignore their imperfections, the worse their flaws will become. Society must answer for why ordering drugs online was the authors only option to get relief from an undiagnosed pain.”

“Who can read the author’s story without being completely shocked at what happened that day in November. My next thought was if this can happen to Nancy Rector, this can happen to anyone! Without doubt, what happened the day of the raid is an outrage, and for that reason this is a book that had to be written. The world must know this story. It’s tragic to see the dark side of the justice system, especially when a harmless, law-abiding citizen lands on the wrong side of “the law”. The author’s exposition of the SWAT “no-know warrants” was shocking. Her journey to jail and through the justice system was eye-opening. Because most Americans know so little about this system, the first-person perspective is invaluable. And with the current healthcare crisis on the nation’s mind, her story is more timely and relevant than ever. That the author could weather such circumstances and not be bitter is commendable. Even more admirable is her ability to see the other side with an eye of understanding. Nancy, I sincerely thank you bringing your struggle to the light, and hope to see it make a change for the best.”

“I intended to read a few chapters at a time before bed. I opened the book… and never closed it until I’d finished it, in one sitting. This is a superbly written true story, and provokes much thought on weaknesses in our legal and health care system.”

“This book is an eye opening, heart felt, extremely personal story of how our justice system has lost its way. It shows how fragile our “freedoms” are, and how they are slowly being taken away. It is a quick read, and very insightful.”

“Quick and fascinating reading. And to think that these shocking things happen on a regular basis. Something is seriously wrong. Nancy Rector’s story must be read and listened to. What goes on is outrageous; from a SWAT team showing up at her home to how she was treated so indifferently all along the way through the entire system. Very thought provoking. Just how fair are our legal and healthcare systems? The author finds out first-hand in this heart-breaking account of her journey through pain and the court system. I’d recommend this book to everyone; especially to those who think “It can’t happen to me.” Very eye-opening, well written and moving.”
