I remember answering him by saying, there may come a day when I needed a refuge or need to be able to relive a moment from my past that would get me through my present, then I would have those moment at my fingertips.  I was in a place now where I needed to relive some great moments of courage, strength, love and devotion daily.  There were so many devils that had rained on my parade in the past and the parade went on.  I needed so desperately at this moment to allow the parade to go on in my life.” Taken from page 140-141 of the novel.
She spends five years serving time-locked up inside a mental prison-for a crime she didn't commit. My question in the beginning was what had she done to deserve this type of punishment? That was the harrowing mystery to this story and unfortunately there was only one way to find out-an old drifter, a once upon a time reporter. This spectacular story make you wish you could've met the woman before the woman who went through the worst five years of her life. Over a decade of Ms. Buckner's implausible life experience is shared in this heartwarming saga that began when she was six years old growing up not knowing how many tears God had placed in her eyes when a very sad girl tried to hide inside her pain because of the absence of her mother-and today realizing that it was an endless amount.
