Description
After you're done listening to Glenna's story, you cannot help but admit she's led a hard life. She's gone through more than her fair share of trouble, in different ways. Some of it she invited; some she did not. To say that she had a troubled childhood would be an understatement. Cutting a long story short, she spent a considerable time working as a prostitute. She was a drug addict. Somewhere along the way, she caught AIDS and Hepatitis C. She successfully battled the latter, which she considers a battle won. A turnaround in such scenarios is rare. Glenna, though, felt it was imminent. Along the way, she met some good people. She managed to get the better of her paranoia and anxiety, successfully completing her bachelor's degree in sociology. Now, she's happy how things have shaped up. She knows the journey is nowhere near the end, and understands she'll have to deal with new kinds of challenges, but they're ones she looks forward to, unlike before.

Compelling story that's hard to follow
The author has prevailed over difficult circumstances but it's hard to follow along as the timeline jumps forward and backward in a way that seems random, and some excerpts are repeated at different points in the story telling.
We never really see a full picture of the author's childhood, so it's hard to completely understand the origins of her addiction struggles, but her triumph over years of addiction and periodic incarceration are inspiring.
The author articulates the hierarchy of prison in a compelling way, helping the listener gain insight into a world many have never experienced.
The narration seems at odds with the content, the narrator's voice being quite soft and young sounding. There are also a couple of instances of what appear to be typos from the text of the book making their way into the narration and distracting from the story.
