Very proud of everything she's overcome and for putting her story out there for everyone to read!. Very Inspiring Wow what a real life look inside a women's correctional facility. Nancy did such a good job of journaling while incarcerated. She was so honest in her feelings and emotions that I cried feeling some of her pain and shame, but was so inspired to see what God did with her life. A great testimony of how God can take a life totally messed up and make something beautiful out of it. A great read!!! Kathy
