Terri
CRIME-PRISON-CRIME
You read the papers. You know how it begins for them. The lure of 'easy' money. the perfect set-up--bungled. Bang. They're in jail--or a detention center. They serve their sentences. Some escape the cycle, but not for long. Soon they're back behind bars--biding their time. Do any of these teenage girls break loose from the vicious cycle? The statistics aren't encouraging. But they don't tell the whole story. They don't tell the story of TERRI.

1st Read: February 7, 1996 - February 8, 1996
The final book in my sisters collection...of John Benton novels anyway. As are all Benton works, this one too, is enjoyable. Easy reading for the adolescent and meant for everyone.
Strange part is, while this was the last book I had read, I would soon meet a woman named Terry at my new job in mid to late February.

Great story about a young girl's struggle with the law and how A wonderful woman and her ministry h helped her. The ministry is real, but not diet of the story is true. It might be just a typical story of the girls they have helped.

My parents bought me this book back in the mid eighties from a little book store in Vernal Utah. I read it in one setting and brought me back to being a teen reading this for the first time. (Or the first time in 40ish years)
