About this audiobook
Ashley Smith
By her own account, Ashley Smith is far from a hero. Yet today, her face is known around the world as the single mother who persuaded Brian Nichols, Atlanta’s courtroom killer, to surrender to police. Nichols called Ashley “an angel sent from God," but, ironically, it was Ashley’s less-than-angelic past that allowed her to convince him to face justice. Today, Ashley lives in Atlanta with her daughter Paige and husband Daniel. She is actively involved with her church, Blackshear Place Baptist Church, and its Celebrate Recovery ministry, and continues to speak nationally and tell the story of Unlikely Angel, which debuted at #15 on the New York Times Bestseller List and is now a major motion picture. According to her wishes, some of the proceeds from the book will be donated to a memorial fund that will honor the victims of the courthouse tragedy.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5this should have been a magazine article.even the condensed version was way too long. god got a lot of attention.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was prepared not to like this book because the over-saturation of media attention surrounding the events. It was recommended to me by my sister and thought I would just borrow it rather than own it. It turned out to be one of the better true stories I have read. It was very interesting to find out about the "behind the scenes" action going on during her hours of captivity. She had great courage and used the experience to turn her life around. Very inspiring and I would definitely recommend it.
