THE BATTLE ON THE INSIDE IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Dani hasn't had an easy life. She's made some bad choices and now she's paying the ultimate price; prison.


With her young daughter Bethany, growing up in foster care, Dani is determined to be free and reunited with her. There's only one problem; Dani can't stay out of trouble.

Dani's new cellmate Martha is quiet and unassuming. There's something about her that doesn't add up. When Martha offers Dani one last chance at freedom, she doesn't hesitate.

Everything she wants is on the outside, but Dani is stuck on the inside. Is it possible to break out when everyone is trying to keep you in . . .

Refreshing, heartbreaking and magical; the most powerful first-person narrative I have read in years. Every mother should read this. * Cath Weeks *
