This debut novel shines a light on the dark subject of infanticide when a successful female criminal defense lawyer is ordered to defend a seventeen-year-old minister’s daughter charged with murder in the drowning death of her newborn child.  In Defense of Good Women is the story of Victoria Stephens, a successful, hard-nosed criminal defense attorney appointed by the court to represent a seventeen-year-old minister’s daughter charged with murder in the drowning death of her newborn child. Victoria faces a hostile community, a salivating press, an uncooperative client, but most of all, a nagging intuition that she should not be handling this case. Forced to delve into the psychology of neonaticide as she searches for a defense, Victoria discovers a link between this case and her own past which, once uncovered, leads her beyond the boundaries of not just her profession, but the law.

Autorenporträt
Marilyn J. Zimmerman has always been interested in social issues. She attended law school in Michigan, driving to classes at night while teaching school and working as a court bailiff. Marilyn was a general practitioner, which exposed her to many types of cases and clients. After twenty years, health issues forced her to retire. Marilyn loves to read, garden, and cook, and she has a fascination with labyrinths. In 2019 she studied to become a labyrinth facilitator through Veriditas and now leads walks in both Michigan and California, where she and her husband spend winters. Marilyn and her husband spend most of each year on a farm in Northport, Michigan, in the Leelanau Peninsula.
