"Dead Reckoning is one of those books that will remain on my mind for a very, very long time. I applaud Carys Cragg's personal journey, and the graceful and highly articulate writing she employs to share her journey with readers."
Amber Dawn, author of Sub Rosa and How Poetry Saved My Life
"With remarkable candour and extraordinary insight Carys Cragg's memoir examines central elements of transformative justice-truth, responsibility and punishment. Healing becomes not reconciliation but compromise, as Cragg's story shifts from the narration of her father's murder as a moment of horror and devastation to a journey of surrender, acceptance, and even forgiveness."
