What people are saying.

"We feel as though we are there with Holly, sleeping back-to-back in an overcrowded cell, hustling to stay alive. The details of day-to-day life behind bars are told without self-pity, from experiencing extreme hunger to showering outdoors in the rain. Holly’s Hell left me contemplating the living hell of prison."

"I love that she doesn’t apologize for her life, but rather simply seeks to understand the journey that she was on, and learn to live with the consequences of those choices today. This is a raw book, edgy and in-your-face."

“What a book! Worth the read!! Speed read this one as I had hotly been awaiting delivery after I heard it was finally being published. Holly’s story is wonderfully written and will move you. Grab the book. Consume it. Then lend it to a friend you love.”

“It was a real privilege to read this book, and appreciate the tenacity and amazing spirit Holly Deane-Johns had to survive her time in Thai prison. I love that she doesn’t apologize for her life, but rather simply seeks to understand the journey that she was on, and learn to live with the consequences of those choices today. This is a raw book, edgy and in-your-face. It is a reminder of how fortunate we are here in the West. Her ability to stay centered, to make brave choices to ensure her safety, and to simply survive is astounding. This book will open your eyes.”

“love her book. It's the first time since Bangkok Hilton that a female prisoner has documented conditions inside a women's prison in Thailand. She doesn't make excuses and she isn't trying to evoke our pity. What Holly demonstrates is an enduring humanity in some of the worst possible conditions on the planet.”
