About this title:

Synopsis: With just one lie -- and from her own husband, no less -- successful Fort Lauderdale realtor Amy Ballon went from domestic violence victim to a woman charged with a felony in a matter of minutes. As she stood in her waterfront condo, still shaking from all that went on, Amy was surprised when a police officer asked her to take off her diamond bracelet.Why, she wondered? "Because you're going to jail,'' the officer said. How did all this happen? Amy's husband, a former police officer, got to the cops first after Amy escaped his grasp and called 911 to tell them she had been beaten. He appeared with a knife wound in his arm and said Amy had stabbed her.it was just another lie from a man who had lied to Amy from the minute he met her. But the police officers responding to Amy's 911 call believed him.So off to jail she went, and "Fabulous To Framed'' is the story of how all this could happen. It explains how a woman who had never been in legal trouble, was a pillar in the South Florida community and had sold more than $2-billion in real estate, could wind up in jail. It goes into great detail of what led to that incident, and what happened that night, an investigation that was handled so poorly that nearly two dozen violations of local police department rules and regulations were found by experts after the fact.It describes her 16-month journey to reclaim her innocence, and another journey just as long to have her name cleared."Fabulous To Framed'' is the courageous story of a woman who simply refused to take no for an answer. At every turn, she encountered one hurdle after another. She fought through them all.What happened to Amy shouldn't happen to anyone, but it did. Now she fights to raise awareness for other innocent people who have been wrongfully accused of crimes.Amy's story is one of courage, tenacity and determination. It's a must-read.

Review:

Seth Miller, Executive Director
Innocence Project of Florida, Inc.
Tallahassee, Florida.

No one ever believes it can happen to them, certainly not for those in the most privileged parts of society. But Amy
Ballon's experience with wrongful accusation and wrongful charge for a crime she didn't commit proves that it can happen to anyone.
Amy is one of the fortunate unfortunate victims of a broken justice system: Unfortunate because she had her life upended and her liberty almost lost; Fortunate because she had the means to prevent a miscarriage of justice before it turned into a multi-year term of wrongful incarceration.
Amy understood very quickly that other innocent people ensnared by the criminal justice system aren't as able or
even as lucky as she was to avert a wrongful conviction.She has taken that knowledge as an imperative to use
her voice and station in life to do all that she can to prevent other innocent people from becoming victims of the criminal justice system. I am proud to have Amy as a partner in justice for the innocent.''

Paul Alexander Kaufman,

"I've known Amy for over forty years and she has always been a person of the highest integrity. She took an
impossible predicament, cleared her name and selflessly she is dedicated to help others who are innocent.
Her book will make others feel they are not alone and can prevail as she did. Kudos, Amy!'

Amy Ballon's story is one that needs to be heard by
audiences everywhere! No one should have to endure the hell
and be victimized by a system that is supposed to love, serve
and protect them as she has!"

Patti Stanger,
"Millionaire Matchmaker'' television personality

"I've known Amy for more than two decades and have
watched her thrive in both her personal and professional life.
The grace and ease she displayed during a wrongful charge is
indicative of the person she is and how she fights for what'sHer commitment to the truth is the core of the person
she has always been. I'm proud of her for standing up for
what's right and persevering against all odds. I'm proud to
call her my friend.''

Renate Basile,

"Amy Ballon is one courageous lady, ready to stand
against the terror and fear that hovered over her. She has more
might and potency to fight this battle surrounded by us, her
friends.''
