NAMED BEST MEMOIR OF THE YEAR AND A FINALIST IN THE 2025 BOOKLIFE PRIZE NONFICTION CONTEST. Judge Matthew Spektor wrote: "Groff's story is gripping twice over: once in its endlessly engrossing series of cases and court battles, each one beautifully rendered, and again as a chronicle of Groff's (a late bloomer who began law school at thirty-seven) own growth. With its calm, conversational prose and its ferocious struggle towards justice that never tips over into despair, Not If I Can Help It is a triumph." CONGRATULATIONS, MEG!
