What we do know is that lives were changed one night in March 2006 during a chance encounter that should never have taken place. The one person whose life has changed the most is the one that few really know. Crystal Gail Mangum was a single mother struggling to make a living for herself and her children while pursuing a college education. Believing that her options were limited, Crystal made a decision that she now admits was the biggest mistake of her life, which up to that point had already been punctuated by big and small mistakes that landed her in a desperate situation. Becoming an exotic dancer seemed to be the answer to all of Crystal’s problems. The money was fast and the lifestyle appeared glamorous. She learned that there was money to be made, but it came with risks. As for the glamour, that was all an illusion, too. But Crystal is not unique. Even if we do not know Crystal Mangum, we can agree with her realization that dancing is not the easy path to a better life. Her short stint as a dancer convinced her to work to encourage women to think about other career choices .Crystal has been through sexual, physical, and emotional abuse that left her with deep psychological scars. The Last Dance for Grace is Crystal’s attempt to set the record straight about her life and the circumstances around one of the most controversial cases in American history. 252 page hardback with dust jacket. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - PATHETIC!I wouldn't have given the book one star if I didn't have to in order to get a comment on here. This woman's "side" of the story has already been told...every time she lied to the authorities and tore apart the lives of several innocent people. It's a shame that the publishing business has sunk so low that it allows a woman like Mangum to gain off of her disgusting acts! What she did was unforgiveable and to even assume that anything she says in the book to defend herself is true is a joke. Anyone ... Read More Rating:  - Finally!!This is the day I've been waiting for, to finally hear from the woman who was at the very center of one of the most infamous cases. Ms. Mangum tells a very incredible and heartwrenching story of her life. I could hardly get myself to put the book down. As a previous comment stated, Ms. Mangum has every right to be heard and the readers can make of it whatever they like. Other than grammatical errors, this is a brilliantly written and heartfelt story. I applaud Crystal Mangum for ... Read More Rating: - 2 SIDES TO EVERY STORYCrystal Mangum has a right to have her story heard just like any other American in the United States. Ask yourself, what kind of criminal case drags on for over a year and the only person punished is the DA if there were no truth to the matter? Their were judges, lawyers making insulting statements towards the allege victim, grand jury indictment, forensics and police investigators. This case from the beginning involved racism, sexism and bias to the fullest. We can't forget a politician decided ... Read More Rating: - Absolute trash!You can't get apple juice from a lemon. You can't get watermelons to grow from a pear seed and you aren't going to get anything truthful from a perjurer and a liar. This young woman, in an act of selfishness, lied and negatively impacted the lives of many people. Some lost jobs & careers, some lost scholarships, many had their entire lives dominated with defending themselves against something that never happened. If this weren't being pawned off as someone's memoirs it MIGHT ... Read More
