"A gritty, raw, and engrossing voice."Publishers Weekly
A memoir unlike any other that explores addiction, crime, and redemption.
The true story of one correctional officer's life behind barsthe ones at work and the ones she built herself.
I was a bad mother,
a bad daughter,
a bad wife, a bad friend.
Boozed out and tired,
with no dreams
and no future.
But I was a good officer.
Sara Lunsford helped cage the worst of the worst, from serial killers to sex criminalsthe kinds of people who go down in true crime history. At the end of every day, when she walked out the prison gate, she had to try to shed the horrors she witnessed. But the darkness invaded every part of her life, no matter how much she tried to drown herself in a liquor bottle. She couldn't hide from the things that hurt her, the things that made her bleed, the things that still rise up in the dark and choke her.
With a magnetic, raw voice that you won't soon forget, Sweet Hell on Fire grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Perfect for nonfiction readers of Tiffany Jenkins' High Achiever and Piper Kerman's Orange is the New Black, it's a hardscrabble climb from rock bottom to the new ground of a woman who understands the meaning of sacrifice, the joy of redemption, and the quiet haven to be found in hope.
