I received a free copy of, A Thousand Miles From Care, by Steve Johnson, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Losing a sibling is the worst, it hits you so different then other deaths. When Steve's younger brother Scott went over the cliffs, people thought it was a suicide, Steve did not think that way, and want to prove it to everyone. This was a good read, Steve finally got justice for his brother, Police corruption is not just in America bit in Australia too.

Who wouldn't want a brother like Steve! What a story and although tragic - a true inspiration of love and dedication to a man that had so much to offer the world if his live had not been needlessly taken away. The author has dedicated his life to find justice for his brother where most people would have given up and may well have just given into authority's findings. It is intriguing, frustrating and satisfying and told in a way that will keep you reading - not dry in any shape or form. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall journey of finding your brother's killer. It was written in a way that worked in telling the story and was respectfully done. I was invested in the way Steve Johnson wrote this and how everything was used to bring light this case. I was glad I got to read this and appreciated Steve Johnson sharing his and his brother's story.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This was one of the most thorough true crime/memoir books I’ve ever read. Steve has quite literally spent the majority of his life fighting for justice for his brother Scott in an effort to find out how he died and who was ultimately responsible. Shining a light on the historical struggles of gay men, this book showed all the different potential factors at play but most of all it showed the end result of a brother who refused to give up and accept that his brother’s death was him taking his own life. So well written and easy to follow and the facts of the case were presented so well.
