À propos de la quatrième de couverture

"THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE JOY AND HAPPINESS…"

The nightmare was over. Freed by a royal pardon from the Bangkok jail where she was serving a twenty-year sentence, accused of heroin smuggling, Rita Nightingale cartwheeled along the expensively carpeted corridor of a London hotel, where eager journalists waited to greet her. Her family waited too, and in an emotional reunion, joy gave way to floods of tears.

Rita was 'home'. Soon, her life in prison would be a fading memory, a distant, forgotten thing. Or would it?

It was in prison that Rita had experienced the difference that knowing God could make. Now that she was free, could she forget the thousands of men and women locked away in prisons who needed the total forgiveness and inner freedom she had found?
