Shapell Depree gives you a glimpse of what happens to women when they feel a sense of not belonging and low self-esteem. In her journey, you will see the connection between how Shapell, like many women, made bad relationship choices because she did not have the guidance of a loving father.

When reading this book, you will clearly see the correlation between the increase of women entering the prison industrial complex and women who are getting involved with the wrong men. These men often lead them unsuspectingly into a world of crime—so deep that their only way out is incarceration.

Depree seeks to prevent women from ruining their lives and the lives of their children by going to jail or prison. You will see that it only takes one mistake to land you behind bars. One arrest led to 7 Felonies and to the harsh reality that education and professional skills do not outweigh a criminal record.
