Redemption: A Story of Sisterhood, Survival, and Finding Freedom Behind Bars by Stacey Lannert, Kristen Kemp

3.0

This one was moving and troubling, and I'm glad I read it. Stacey Lannert has done incredible things with a tough life. I can't imagine growing up the way she did. So in terms of how this helped me to feel compassion and to look for the signs in a child who's abused, I'd say reading it was worth it. The writing wasn't terrific, and that's why I gave it a 3. But if you're interested in how a woman could live 10 years of her childhood being abused and then live in prison for 18 years, this would be worthwhile.
