Readers meet Alice, the author's alter ego, the angel with burnt wings, who lives a shackled life of shame. In prison, Alice begins to find herself and breaks away from the pit of despair and failure. She also begins to shed her rancid skin with each step towards the distant light, beginning to become whole again, after her crushing downfall into the once black hole of sexual abuse, prostitution, crime and punishment.  Readers watch as Alice becomes a distant memory left in the cold, damp jail cell and how she pushes her new life up into the light to become a golden girl.She overcame, persevered and found forgiveness in a way that we can all learn from.Only with God's help can we soar above the crushing influences. Only with God can we turn a mess into a message, a test into testimony, a trial into triumph and a victim into victory.This book is of value to all parents, persons in jail, rehabilitation centres for crime, drugs and alcohol, christian communities and gay communities. The book shows how a broken self can aspire for rebirth and succeed to become pure white again.  The reader witnesses the sad loss of innocence and sees how Alice succeeds in attaining forgiveness and freedom. A beautiful story of victory: a sad story of loss.
