Unchained: A Caribbean Woman's Journey Through Invasion, Incarceration and Liberation, Paperback

It is said that you do not really know someone - including yourself - until that person encounters a profound crisis in life. This book is a remarkable first-person account of one woman's survival and ultimate triumph over cruel conditions of USA-orchestrated imprisonment, character-assassination, and kangaroo justice. The reader is taken on an extraordinarily rich journey of Phyllis Coard's battles to survive her capture, isolation, psychological and physical torture. By the end of her sixteen-and-a-half years of incarceration, character assassination, judicial malpractice, and five years on death row, her increasing personal discoveries and insights lead to remarkable self-mastery.
