When law student Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich is asked to work on a death-row hearing for convicted murderer and child molester Ricky Langley, she finds herself thrust into the tangled story of his childhood. As she digs deeper and deeper into the case, she realizes that, despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar. The Fact of a Body is both an enthralling memoir and a groundbreaking, heart-stopping investigation into how the law is personal, composed of individual stories, and proof that arriving at the truth is more complicated and powerful than we could ever imagine.

The book delves into the life of Ricky Langley, a convicted murderer and child molester, and explores the circumstances that led to his crimes. It also examines the legal system and how it handles cases like Langley's, highlighting the flaws and biases that can affect the outcome of a trial. Through the eyes of Alexandria, the reader is taken on a journey of discovery as she uncovers the truth about Langley's past and the events that led to his conviction.

The Fact of a Body is a powerful and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think critically about the legal system and the role of the individual in it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, criminal justice, or the human psyche.
