Fusion Reviews

From Prisoner to President is an unnerving but riveting story…All in all, her story is a cautionary tale for young women who are eager to break free of the constraints of home. It is also a testimony to God’s faithfulness and power to restore a broken life. Perhaps most important, it offers hope to other women trapped in abusive relationships.
