About the book

Have you ever had life by the tail where success grabs hold of you in your every endeavor? Would you be willing to risk the comfort of that success to reach out in defense of something you believe is wrong? This is the true story of one such woman. Jody Ortiz began her journey of advocacy for truth and justice in the case of Raye Dawn Smith, a young Oklahoman mother currently serving a 27-year sentence for enabling child abuse.

Through years of daily, dedicated, and thorough research of this case, Jody Ortiz has worked tirelessly to bring truth to the spin created by the Briggs family and the local media in Oklahoma.

The death of Kelsey Shelton Smith-Briggs, certainly one of the most high profile child abuse cases in the state of Oklahoma, has brought out the worst in those wishing to use her death to promote their personal agendas and need for justice at whatever cost; all this in hopes to raise the level of hatred against Kelsey’s mother, Raye Dawn Smith to epic proportions. While one is tortured by the murder of this precious child, it cannot be forgotten that her mother is entitled to a fair trial and the justice warranted all of us as citizens of this country.

However, in advocating for the injustice of the wrongful conviction of Smith, Jody Ortiz has in turn, suffered from mental and verbal abuse, cyber stalking, hacking into her personal e-mail accounts, attempts to destroy her business, threats of violence, false accusations, and the harassment of her friends. All of this in an attempt to quiet her voice of truth and her passion for speaking what she fervently believes is a personal vendetta to destroy justice and sway public opinion.

As told by Ortiz in her own words, you will feel the crippling fear that overtook this private citizen and see exactly why we often aren’t presented with the full picture of an event as it unfolds. In the end you’ll ask yourself, would I have the courage to do this for what once was a total stranger? We believe you will. And you will see that ultimately, truth does set you free.
