COTTAGE GROVE, Minn., Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ One small voice can make one big difference. Trudy Baltazar's new book, "A Road to Freedom" proves that is true.

Baltazar understands life isn't always fair, but that didn't stop her from doing the right thing. An activist at heart, Baltazar saw an injustice and knew she had to do something about it.

Baltazar heard a court case on the local news, which captivated her. The case involved Koua Fong Lee who was wrongly imprisoned after his runaway Toyota left three people dead. The malfunction involved a sudden acceleration and a loss of brakes.

The county attorney opposed a new trial despite insurmountable new evidence that proved his innocence. Dozens of new witnesses claimed the same thing happened to their same model and year Toyotas.

While Baltazar didn't know the driver or the victims, she felt compelled to act.

"The bookis a journey of how life's adversities can be used for good," said Baltazar. "This book focuses on encouraging mankind to reach out to others without regard to race, religion, or public status, even when there's nothing in it for ourselves."

In her quest for justice, she learned how standing up for others can help break down barriers that keep humanity from becoming all it can be.

"When Lee was silenced, I felt compelled to speak," said Baltazar.

Erika Applebaum, Executive Director of Minnesota Innocence Project, said "A Road to Freedom" is "a truly inspiring story how one person can and did make a difference for a total stranger just because it was the right thing to do."

"A Road to Freedom: Strangers Restore Justice for an Innocent Man" is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and for the Kindle and Nook.

Baltazar, who was born in St. Paul, said she wanted to be a lawyer since she was a little girl. "I always wanted to fight for people's rights." But her mother's death when Trudy was 10, meant that she wouldn't be able to go to college.
