As seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show , this is the gripping memoir of Stacey Lannert, who spent 18 years in prison for killing her sexually-abusive father. In 1990, 18-year-old Stacey shot and killed her father, who had been sexually and emotionally abusing her since she was eight. She was driven to murder when she realised he was turning his attention towards her younger sister. Stacey was found guilty of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But after 18 years, her sentence was finally reviewed and she was freed. Naomi Wolf, the author of The Beauty Myth , said, "This real-life tale [is] as dramatic as any movie … It's beautifully told."
