Hi Marla ~ what an interesting story. I am a little confused though, is this a true story of the author going to prison with some names changed "to protect the innocent" or is it just a "tale" loosely based on the author's experiences as an inmate? At any rate, the novel does sound like an excellent choice to read and I am adding it to my list of reads. Thank you for bringing this book to my attention. Lovely annotation ~
ReplyDeleteYes it is a true story. She changed the names. Do read it and share with me if you don't mind, even if its after this class. I would like to know what you thought. I just really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI know it says it is a Christian woman's journey, but do you feel it could be in the Christian or inspirational section of the library. It sounds like it could possibly be one of those books that can go into more than one genre.

ReplyDeleteIt probably could be classified in other genres. It displays how she let her faith in God give her the strength to endure her imprisonment.
