“Inside Out” Teaches Understanding Of One’s Worth!
What I liked about this book was the manner in which a support system can change one’s life if you really are interested. The story has Leah being released from jail. Her crime was getting drunk and high, driving her car the wrong way and crashing hurting only her. She would not accept a plea deal or an early release on good behavior. She felt she deserved what was given until she was forced out by the government earlier. Her sponsor got her hooked up with a hostile to live and some volunteer work until she applied for some jobs. But being out was not easy. She had to be careful of what she got involved in otherwise back in jail to finish her sentence of nine months. What Leah found was a nice place to do some special volunteering but also the women who was in charge lit her up inside and out. There are always reminders on what you were inside and what people see in you. But the responsibility is solely on Leah and she realizes what she has to do to make things happen, one thing starts with her. A good read!

Roz's best yet!
I have read all 3 of her books and I think this is her best yet. Although I love the other books this book was more of a page turner. The character development was great and the story was well written. I loved the whole thing and only wish there was more to the story because I loved it that much.
