A good book, I could not put it down and finished it in one day.

Captivating story. It was hard to keep the book down.

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting, often moving account of a young woman arrested for drug smuggling in Thailand, despite being innocent, having been set up by some known drug pushers. She starts by being resentful and angry, often rude to the warders; her case does not go well and she is sentenced to twenty years in a rather primitive and unpleasant jail. There she finds Jesus, and is eventually pardoned.

I'd read this before, many years ago, but forgotten most of the detail. The writing is vivid and fast-paced, the story quite exciting, and also a warning to anyone who might become over-involved in apparently plausible people in the Far East offering them money or free flights around the world.

Now long out of print, but sometimes available second-hand.
