Na�ve, law-abiding school teacher Sybil casts off her feelings of despair and helplessness to take on the Georgia penal system. Readers will applaud her spirit and courageous letter-writing campaign as she maneuvers the quagmire of rules and regulations. At times, letters between mother and son left me with a lump in my throat. Yet, Sybil''s ever present flicker of hope kept me reading and hoping." Diane Jones Skelton, author "The Gumbo Diaries."~~~~~"In her debut novel, Andrea Walker takes the reader into every mother''s nightmare. Sybil''s son, eighteen, is incarcerated.
