Blurb:
As a corrections officer at an all-male maximum security
prison, Sara Lunsford worked with the worst of the worst, from serial killers
to white supremacists. She knew that at the end of every day, she had to try
and shed the memories of the horrors she had witnessed in order to live a happy
existence. But the darkness invaded every part of her life. And dealing with a
stressful divorce and a mother succumbing to cancer led her to a complete
immersion in her work and eventually the bottom of a liquor bottle. Sweet Hell
on Fire takes the reader on a journey with the author, from hitting rock bottom
to becoming a woman who understands the meaning of sacrifice, the joy of
redemption and the quiet haven to be found in hope.
My review:
This is an
amazing story of coming out the other side, of making the decision to be happy.
There are two parts to this story work and the rest of her life. This book
takes you through a pivotal year in the author’s life. Sara is a strong and
effective correctional officer. Sara is also a young mother struggling with her
inner demons. This story tells of her struggles and will leave you feeling
better about the world. I could totally relate to this story but am not strong
enough (or a good enough writer) to bleed all over the page. It took incredible
courage to write this story and I applaud the author’s courage. Choose to be
happy.
