Toby Dorr is a bestselling author, prison reform advocate, and founder of the Fierce Grace Movement. She is the author of Living with Conviction and Killing Lisa, works that explore justice, redemption, and the human cost of incarceration through lived experience and bearing witness.
After serving time in federal prison, Dorr emerged committed to telling the stories the system often silences—especially those of women shaped by trauma, neglect, and institutional failure. Her writing centers on compassion without denial, accountability without erasure, and the belief that no life should be reduced to its worst moment.
Her work has been featured by the BBC, Newsweek, and other international media, and her story was adapted into a Lifetime movie. She lives in Virginia with her husband and continues to write, speak, and advocate for a more humane justice system—creating spaces where voice, dignity, and agency can be reclaimed.
