Review "A candid, engaging, fascinating, and deftly written memoir that reads with all the drama of a novel."-The Midwest Book Review"Raw, real, and so wonderfully written, Walker exposes the truth ... unapologetically." -Judge, 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award, Grand Prize Shortlist"I absolutely loved this book. This was a brilliant and thought-provoking read." -Judge, 2023 Benjamin Franklin Awards"An incredibly well-written memoir, filled with tension, compassion, and a seemingly unending stream of harrowing events." -Judge, 2023 Benjamin Franklin Awards"Rarely have I read a more honest, brave, and ultimately uplifting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat praying Lynn can break free. Many times along the way, you think it will be impossible. I rooted for Lynn the entire way, cried when she couldnt break free, and cheered her successes. Her honesty, courage, and drive to become a better person is simply extraordinary. Lynn broke away from forces that destroy people and leave no survivors. This is a must read for anyone who has struggled in life. A heart-wrenching story of sheer persistence and a drive to be free. This story is one for the ages." -David Crow, author of The Pale-Faced Lie Details ISBN1737895560 Author Lynn Walker Pages 312 Publisher Mzw Publishing Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781737895565 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-05-26 Imprint Mzw Publishing Subtitle A Memoir of a Drug Smugglers Daughter DEWEY B Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
