Elizabeth Oldin is an unhappy wife in 1950's America and wants more for herself and her family. Growing up in a concentration camp in WW2 Europe she fled to America the first chance she had, finding a man that would have her and give her a family, but she cannot overcome her own crippling past. When an unspeakable event throws her life into a storm of murder allegations and shocking truths of her history, Elizabeth is taken into Police custody and trialed as a cold blooded murderer. With little evidence on her side and nothing but her own story as corroboration Elizabeth is found guilty and thrown into the most notorious prison on earth, Alcatraz. As the only woman in a prison full of men, Elizabeth knows she will need to fight harder than she ever has before to survive. Not even her own terrifying past was enough to prepare her for what the Warden of Alcatraz Prison has in store for her. But the Warden and inmates have greatly underestimated the strength, will and power of a woman who has already been broken, and will not relent herself to another. Authors note: I would like you all to know that the research that went into this book was extensive, all historical features of this story are correct to their time and place, including the layout of the prison. The only deviation from history is a woman being incarcerated there, and obviously names of staff and inmates. I hope you enjoy the rich historical element of this book as much as the story itself. 1st place winner: Midnight Awards general fiction. 2nd place winner: World of Champions 2019: General Fiction 2nd place winner: Majestic Inc.
