Nikki Munitz, a former Jewish school student, finds herself trapped in the grip of a heroin addiction after matriculating. She is sent to a remote rehab run by a pastor with a tattoo of Satan, where she meets a handsome son of a wealthy Afrikaans family. Lured by the illusion of a "happy-ever-after," she marries him, but the facade soon crumbles. Money is in short supply, and Nikki takes on a job at a reputable law firm, where she begins to siphon small, undetectable amounts from trust funds of loyal clients. Caught red-handed, she is fired, but by the time the law catches up with her, Nikki is clean and sober. On the advice of her lawyer, who reassures her she will never go to jail, she pleads guilty to all 37 counts of fraud. After a grueling 2-year court battle, she is found guilty. Fraud is a powerful memoir about a young woman who is forced to face her life of deceit in a prison cell, where she ultimately finds her freedom to fly.
