She is clear and straight up in the way that only someone who is actually doing what she says can be. - Mike PilavachiOne of the most dramatic Christian autobiographies ever published - Church of England Newspaper
Anyone less likely to go tripping into the vice dens of the notorious Walled City could not be found. Maybe her ignorance saved her ... or her courage. - Daily Mail
A book to stop you in your tracks. - Liverpool Daily Post
