Lacy Johnson was held prisoner in a soundproofed room in a basement
apartment that her ex-boyfriend rented and outfitted for the sole
purpose of raping and killing her. She escaped, but not unscathed. THE OTHER SIDE is the haunting account of a first passionate and then
abusive relationship, the events leading to Johnson's kidnapping and
imprisonment, her dramatic escape, and her hard-fought struggle to
recover. At once thrilling, terrifying, harrowing, and hopeful, THE OTHER SIDE offers more than just a true crime record. In language both
stark and poetic, Johnson weaves together a richly personal narrative
with police reports, psychological evaluations, and neurobiological
investigations, provoking both troubling and timely questions about
gender roles and the epidemic of violence against women.
We are proud to partner with the Houston Area Women's Center to support THE OTHER SIDE. Learn more about their mission here >>
