When a horrible car accident leaves an innocent teenager homeless, she sets on a path to get closer to God. But first, she must survive the mean streets of LA!
Fifteen year old Alcatraz is being chased. Born and raised in a loving family, she suddenly finds herself fending for her life on the streets of Los Angeles. Consumed with anger, hurt and confusion, Alcatraz turns to the spiritual realm to find life’s answers. While experimenting with pagan spells, Buddhist chants, and yoga sutras, she continually encounters a spirit who claims He is God. The Truth she learns from this spiritual quest introduces her to the unexpected world of divine healing, acceptance and unconditional love.
"When i started reading this I thought wow alcatrez has had a really tough life which.couldnt put it down and it drew me in. The art and tattooing stuff I loved but I did feel by the end of it that I had spent a lot of time being Bible hashed. Saying that I am an ex pentacostal church worshipper so I can say this!! Still a good read and interesting elements to Buddhism, Christianity, Jehovah's witnesses and Hinduism." -- Lindy Aus
"I stumbled upon this book on my kindle. Like the previous reviewer, I was attracted to the cover. I started reading and could not put the book down. It was about all my favorite things, Jesus, tattoos and social work. The holy spirit in me was fired up about this positive read. Very realistic and well written story. I imagined it was someones memoire. I was not ready for it to end. Im looking forward to reading more by Aleshia Robinson and perhaps we will read more about Alcatraz. I give this kindle book five stars!" --Johnna Finch
"I was pleasantly surprised from this book. What a great read...so waiting for the next book. I have found another great author!" --Jennifer B.
"I just finished both books-awesome! Someday, you can just sit back and write-You have a gift! You definately need to get your books translated into spanish! The people here in Ecuador could definately relate! How long do I have to wait for the third book?" -- Suzan C.
"This book was my book club's pick of the month...I have never finished a book so fast before! It kept my attention to the point I didn't want to stop reading until I found out what the end result would be. I love reading books that resemble life's trials, tribulations and truths. Great Job!"

"Society isn't comfortable admitting that women like Alcatraz can come from supportive families in middle class suburbia. How do these women end up in such difficult situations and how do they find the truth? Alcatraz is the untold story of countless young women in the United States today. The author demonstrates the complexities of navigating through life's struggles while seeking spiritual truth. What does Jesus offer that other religions don't? Alcatraz discovers these answers while she remains determined to live as independent woman with purpose.
A great book for young ladies starting their own journeys in life, creating opportunities to reflect on the situations and decisions Alcatraz is faced with as she soul searches for the Truth! This book is a reminder of my own efforts as a young twenty-something searching for God while finding my own identity." Critical Consumer
"The true road toward faith is not the road that we see, it's the road inside of our souls, the road that is faded away by the laws and codes of the world we live in. The truest journey is the journey we take inside. This book poured inspiration out of me through every turn, I liked it a lot!" Insomnia of Books blog
"This is a highly, highly recommended read that needs to be shared with many. I am excited about reading the second book in this series!" "Blogging with Carol" blog
"I have to admit that at first I was intrigued more by the title of this series than I was by the plot. Not that it didn't sound like a great story, it did. It sounded great! However, I'm a big fan of God and love and yes, tattoos. :) So, that's what originally caught my attention. But, once I started reading...the story drew me in." Delia M
