AN UNINTENTIONAL ACCOMPLICE: A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE ON WHITE RESPONSIBILITY by Carolyn L. Baker follows a white woman's journey growing up in segregated Southern California coming of age in the counter-cultural 1960s. Baker's "aha" moment came, decades later, in her mid-sixties during Black History Month when she first learned of the 1955 murder of Emmett Till. From this revelation, Baker shares her personal journey and observations on her awakening of cultural white privilege and unintentional racial harm to becoming an ally in building a more humane community. An Unintentional Accomplice recalls America's reality versus the American dream, highlights institutionalized discrimination, and calls for a redesigned feminism. Of particular importance to Baker are the principles of "nothing about us without us," and the role of the community to heal and sustain all of its members. Her goal is to create a space for individuals who, like the author, might recognize themselves in the midst of the racial divide, and to challenge, inspire, and uplift them to do the personal work required to foster a bridge of respect among all people. AN UNINTENTIONAL ACCOMPLICE is a non-judgmental personal narrative designed to encourage readers to appeal to, and act upon, "the better angels of our nature."

"Accomplice begins as a straightforward English thriller in a country house. A sex-starved wife and her lover plan to murder her stuffy husband. The husband is murdered on stage, but reappears, This is actually a dress rehearsal for an out of town try out and the murder victim is the playwright and director. He, however, is plotting to murder his wife, the leading lady in his play, so that his affair with her leading man can proceed unimpeded. A surprise character comes out of the audience, revealing that something entirely different is actually going on: a cast member is being brilliantly and effectively set up in retaliation for his cruel actions which caused the suicide of a friend."--Publisher.

There is no honor among thieves. But what about murderers? Seattle homicide prosecutor David Brunelle faces a prosecutorial nightmare. A drug addict-turned-police informant is found murdered, his body dumped publicly as a warning to others. The prime suspect is the drug lord the dead man was snitching out. And the only witnesses to the murder were also accomplices to it. Decisions have to be made, and deals have to be cut. Brunelle struggles through a maze of coconspirators and defense attorneys to answer the questions at the core of his dilemma: Who deserves a break? And who deserves the full punishment of the law? Will a collection of scared drug addicts and loyal hangers-on be willing to testify against a man who already killed one police informant? And even if they are, will the jury believe anyone whose testimony was purchased with a plea bargain? Brunelle encounters new friends and past opponents as he tries to hold a killer responsible, both aided and hindered by the doctrine of ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY.
