The movie, A Cry for Justice, tells the powerful story of how Jackie Carpenter's idyllic life turned into a living nightmare when her son went on trial for felony murder after he accidentally shot a man stealing from his worksite. At that time, Jackie had no way of knowing her son's trial would become a textbook case that would make law history - or that the screenplay for the movie (from her two books) would win First Place in the Alaska International Film Festival!

Law professors at top universities around the country are now requesting copies of the movie to show to their first year law students. A Cry for Justice (Triple Horse Studios) is the award-winning movie, based on Jackie's two books, that tells the riveting true story of her fight to save her family. Please watch the exciting trailer at:http://acryforjusticemovie.com.

This trailer has already won Award of Excellence in the Best Short Competition and Award of Merit in The Accolade Competition, and has been nominated as Best Picture in the ICVM Crown Awards and entered in the Gideon Film Festival!

With her son's life hanging in the balance and his lawyer advising her not to take a Bible into the courtroom The Day the jury returned with a verdict at his felony murder trial, what did Jackie do? She listened to the lawyer's professional advice - but she didn't take it. She knew in her heart that she would rather offend a jury member than offend God so she proudly walked into the courtroom that day with her Bible in her hands, and did what she does best; she prayed.

The day this courageous Georgia mother made the decision to carry her Bible into the courtroom she got her miracle when the jury announced the two most wonderful words she had ever heard: "Not guilty!"

The Bridge: Between Cell Block A and a Miracle is Psalm 91 (Xulon Publishing) is Jackie's heart-wrenching story of her family's ten-month ordeal in the courtroom drama that followed. A story of fear, love, faith and hope, it depicts the support Jackie found in Psalm 91 and how she used this prayer of protection to hold her family together as her son fought for his life. While The Bridge tells the story of her walk of faith, her second book, George Justice: A Story To Faith, shares how she built up her faith in the face of tragedy, and is a powerful testimony to the spiritual strength this girl from a small town in Georgia found in the promises of Psalm 91.

Jackie Carpenter has been a featured guest on television, radio, and in newspaper articles. For more information on this author and her remarkable story of faith, hope and love, visit her website at: www.bridgetoamiracle.com.
