Publisher's Synopsis
Lisa M. Cook presents a raw look at her own journey out of a desperate life and into the light. Through her memoir, she hopes she can provide comfort and inspiration to anyone dealing with similar problems.
Lisa's ordeal began on the lush tropical island of Jamaica. The twenty-four-year-old single mother wasn't there for fun. She had a job to do.
After being laid off from her job, Lisa had tried every avenue to provide for herself and her three-year-old daughter. With the prospect of becoming homeless hanging over her head, Lisa agreed to do one job for a drug-dealing acquaintance. All she had to do was go to Kingston, Jamaica, and return with a shipment of drugs.
When Lisa was caught on the island with the drugs, her eight days of fun turned into five and a half months of pure survival. Lisa met a nice local willing to help her, but she also needed to contend with a scheming attorney determined to use her for his own gain. In order to get back home and see her daughter again, Lisa had to decide whom she could trust. The island held more dangers than she ever thought possible.
