About this ebook

Twenty-one-year-old Evie Freeman is about to be blindsided by a crusty old Bible and a life change.
At present, her life is dismal. Her prospects are none. What makes matters worse is that she can’t understand how her life got that way and she’s lost the will to fight forward. Then she goes to jail—thanks to her drug-dealing boyfriend. Now, she’s really declared herself the walking dead. So these days she’s just hanging around the edges of life, waiting for her last breath to ooze out of her body.
But angels and inspiration can reside anywhere. And if jail’s the place where miracles can happen for Evie, so be it. She only has to take in one more good breath to receive it.
