The woman who accused three former Duke Lacrosse players of rape and assault – in a case that was ultimately dismissed – is writing a book described by her manager as a "tell-all memoir," reports Durham-Raleigh's news station WTVD.
"The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story," due in October, is "the only definitive account of the life and struggles of the woman at the center of the Duke Lacrosse case, the alleged accuser," according to Mangum's co-author Vincent Clark.
"Were it not for the Duke Lacrosse Case, she likely would be described as a bright, young woman from Durham, North Carolina, who has had a difficult life," Clark said.
The three Lacrosse players – David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann – were declared innocent of all charges after the State Attorney General's Office reviewed the case.
Former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred and jailed following the collapse of the case. Nifong is among several defendants named in at least three federal lawsuits stemming from the ordeal.
Mangum plans to donate $1 from each book sold to help battered women
