This book is a difficult to put down book about Stacey Lannert who shot her father when she was 18 years old. She is from the St. Louis area and was in prison with a life sentence for 18 years. She was released by Gov. Matt Blunt. Hers is a story of horrific sexual abuse, neglect, and it is riveting. I do not doubt her story. She also goes into prison life and how she was able to come to peace about all that has happened to her. She is a survivor and I can't say that I could have coped with all the things that she has had happen.
The library only has 3 copies, but should own more. The book has a true crime call number, but it is much more. It should be in the self-help section. She has a website for abuse survivors and has been on Oprah. She should also come as a speaker about survivors of abuse since that is one of the things that she does currently. She still lives in the St. Louis area.
