On television Nancy is a force to be reckoned with—but, in person, her warmth, wit, and candor make for a memorable and uplifting program rich in anecdotes, humor, and genuine emotion. Nancy tells a story as inspirational as it is devastating: her fiancé was shot and killed, shattering the image she held of her future. Determined to help others affected by violence and to keep criminals off the street, she abandoned her plan to become an English professor and instead attended law school, becoming a Law Review graduate of Mercer Law School and earning her LLM from New York University. With her extraordinary conviction rate as a prosecutor and years of TV work, she has achieved many times over her dream of making the world a little safer—and sparing others the pain of losing a loved one to senseless violence. She also addresses questions of overcoming obstacles, including what felt to her like insurmountable grief.
