Her extraordinary memoir is one of unshakable endurance and fortitude. She writes candidly and brilliantly about the events that led to her incarceration. It's packed full of insightful life lessons only revealed through careful introspection and self-awareness. Damoah's story is layered, fascinating, shocking, and triumphant.
