A Prison of My Own

Rate this book
One of the most remarkable true stories you'll ever read. Diane Nichols received repeated phone calls from a stranger. The female caller mocked and ridiculed her, eventually disclosing the most painful news a wife could Diane's husband, John, was having an affair with the nineteen-year-old caller. Diane couldn't imagine anything worse, but that was before she confronted her husband. The next morning she learned that john had killed his young mistress. Her husband's imprisonment for murder started her on a painful descent into the all-too-familiar realm of deceit, consequences, and ultimately—an emotional prison of her own. But the story doesn't end there! This riveting story of a family torn by infidelity and murder is also a story of the triumph of God's amazing power to restore against all odds!

Well ..
The audio Narrator was terrific !! She did an amazing job and had it not been for her voice that felt like there was something brewing I probably never would have finished this and although the story was ok I was really bored with it and didnt feel like the story had actually made any progress .. The "character growth" well there honestly wasnt much no matter how they "found God" that honestly didnt change them ...

This book will be forever in my mind. I couldn't imagine myself if i will be in Diane's shoe. The best work of God's miracle ever. I think every married woman should read this and husbands also. The first book which i finished reading in just 3 days because i usually finish a novel in 1 week due to my busy schedule. I highly recommend this!

Once I started this book, I could not put it down. I was unable to stand not knowing what happens in the end. I honestly felt so touched by this story because it shows how God really works in mysterious ways.

Fascinating lifestory, very inspirational. It makes you wonder how you would react in that sort of situation, and whether you would be able to have the same level of faith that Diane had.

I'm usually one for the fiction side of the shelf but this true story was remarkable to read!

I decided to read this book because it was a true story, but was unprepared for this! Forgiveness, yes, but to this degree? This book will be on my mind for a long time!
