Publisher Description
The gritty prison memoir of Michaella McCollum, one half of the infamous 'Peru Two', imprisoned in a Peruvian jail for attempting to smuggle 11kg of cocaine from Peru to Madrid in August 2013.
She was just a regular girl, spending the summer working at a bar in Ibiza, until she was approached by a man who asked her if she'd like to make some quick, easy money...and it would change her life forever. This is the truth of her time in prison, told through her own diaries and letters to her mother, family and friends, recounting tales of vicious guards, psychotic inmates and horrendous prison conditions.
A brilliantly affecting tale of a naïve young girl who starts out in the Ibiza party scene and comes of age in the dark heart of Peru, before finally emerging into the sun a stronger, more confident, mature young woman.
COMING SOON TO BBC THREE - 'HIGH', A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT MICHEALLA'S ARREST, CONVICTION, AND TIME IN A SOUTH AMERICAN PRISON

Edge of my seat
Really enjoyed this read, parts of this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt a mix of emotions whilst reading this lady’s story.
Excellent read, definitely a book worth writing.
This was an excellent read, I was not expecting so much detail , so many story’s to this narrative. It’s been written so well, you feel your actually there , I love a book that grips you. This certainly did. This lady deserves a lot of praise , she made good out of something so bad. Admits it was the biggest mistake of her life, but worked so hard to do good and educate. Many would crumble , hats off to her for using her wits. This was a book worth writing, everything happens for a reason, so pleased to hear this ending. Fabulous.
Brilliant
Amazing read what a strong girl
