Fenced In

April Scales looks back on her years in prison in this memoir, which is narrated through the eyes of the girl and the young woman she once was. The reader moves through her experiences in the voices of those earlier selves.

The book lays out the hardships she faced inside, the people she met along the way, and the methods she relied on to endure each day. Nothing is smoothed over.

Running alongside those hardships is the story of her personal growth and her determined effort to secure her release. Scales is also the author of Memoirs of Suzie, 31 Days of Growth and Reflection, and Get Yourself Together.
