  • "As her parent's marriage crumbles, Stacey finds comfort in her loving father, Tom. Until, at age eight, Tom initiates Stacey to a game they must keep between themselves. For the next ten years, Stacey's life is ripped apart by physical and sexual abuse. Feeling hopeless, she takes matters into her own hands by ending the life of her abuser. Redemption takes a dark, disturbing look into a life destroyed before ever having a chance to live. Will an act of clemency get Stacey a new start at life?"

  • ""When I decided to look, I found more love and compassion than I ever imagined existed. Most significantly, I found forgiveness. I might even call it redemption." On July 4, 1990, eighteen-year-old Stacey Lannert shot and killed her father, who had been sexually abusing her since she was eight. Missouri state law, a disbelieving prosecutor, and Stacey's own fragile psyche conspired against her: She was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. Redemption is Stacey's candid memoir of her harrowing childhood and the pain and protective love of her sister that led her to that horrifying night. It is also an extraordinary portrait of what happened after she found herself in prison and how she grew determined to live positively, even triumphantly, despite her circumstances. Ultimately, and most profoundly, she learned the healing power of forgiveness. After spending as many years in prison as she had out of it, on January 10, 2009, outgoing Missouri governor Matt Blunt commuted Stacey's life sentence. Six days later she walked out of the gates a free woman. Redemption is the story of how Stacey learned to be free while living behind bars. It is a coming-of-age story set in a parallel universe of a maximum-security prison. And, it is a story of sisterhood, courage, and justice finally served. From the Hardcover edition."@en
