hi everyone

just finished reading the life story of sunny jacobs. she was an innocent woman sent to death row for 5 years before having her sentence reduced to life. she was eventually freed in 1992 after her husband was executed in 1990 ( botched execution jesse tafero). her story, courage and integrety is an inspiration! wow, a must read for anyone! anyone else read it?

No I have never read it or heard of it. Do you have the name of the book?

I think it is called Stolen Time. I will check.

Sunny's is an amazing story.

I had the pleasure of meeting her a couple of years ago, she is a beautiful person.

She currently has the autobiography out and also publishes a book of yoga techniques for prisoners. I sent it (the yoga book) to my brother whilst he was in prison in Japan, he said it was wonderful.

Sunny's story is also featured in the play "The Exonnerated" along with Kerry Max Cook's and others.

Having heard her tell her story I would thoroughly recommend that you read this book, it will break your heart and fill you with hope simultaneously.

She has actually appeared as herself in some performances of "The Exonerated"--Susan Sarandon played her in a movie made of the film, but there was also an interview with Ms. Jacobs on the disk.

A remarkable human being who bears that curious aura one sees only on those who have walked through the fire and come through it not burned, but strenghtened and glorified.

the book is called stolen time. i would reccomend anyone to read it. to put things into perspective, make problems seem small and to instill hope. a truely remarkable woman.

I have almost finished reading Stolen Time. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!! :)

Oh yes the Story from Sunny is really moving and it's an amazing story. I saw her this year on a speaker event. It was moving. She is a very interesting and strong person.
