description: "Amid the degradation Sandra Gregory found redemption, and the strength to rebuild the life she had thrown away." MAIL ON SUNDAY "...This is an extraordinary story, and Sandra Gregory's resillience and spirit make her book oddily uplifting at times, even though the circumstances she describes are about as dark as it gets." WATERSTONES.CO.UK Sandra Gregory was living a life in Bangkok that many only dream of - until illness, unemployment and political unrest turned it into a nightmare. Desperate to get home, she agreed to smuggle an addict's personal supply of heroin. She didn't even make it on to the plane. In this memoir, she tells of the events leading up to her arrest, the horrific conditions in Lard Yao prison, her trial and how it feels to be sentenced to death. Four and a half years later, she was transferred to the British prison system and an equally harsh regime. Following relentless campaigning by her parents, she was pardoned by the King of Thailand and released in 2000.
