This book is an Autobiography detailing life and experiences of the author who spent a large time of her career working for the vulnerable and voiceless, who sometimes are caught up in the snare of the law. As a humble contribution, the writer tries to highlight more to the society the plight of people who are not able to access justice for daily problems or when they offend against the law and cannot afford the fees of legal practitioners, however these set of people also have fundamental human rights as guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.
The book starts with memoirs of the writer's childhood, family background and education through to her career path from teaching to becoming a private legal practitioner, all this in preparation for a life of service to the poor, until she was privileged to be appointed as the Director General of the LEGAL AID COUNCIL, NIGERIAN, for two tenures. It is an institution created to provide free legal service to the poor and vulnerable. This book is laced with real life events that relief boredom while the author hopes readers also get to appreciate how the poor is unable to easily access justice and how the justice sector in Nigeria has intensified efforts to improve service delivery to citizens
