Worth the Time 

“I wanted him 6 feet under to rot.” 

The night he died, I felt hope for the first time in years. But that spark of hope quickly turned to ashes as I was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his murder. I never claimed to be a good person, but I did what I thought I had to do to protect my sisters.

Now at twenty eight Luna Matthews is being released from an Oregon State women’s prison. With new evidence, a viral podcast that exposed the truth and a lawyer who believed in her, she is set free into a world that has moved on without her. 

She is desperate to reconnect with her sisters, who she hasn’t spoken to since the trial over eight years ago. In her journey of rebuilding her life, Luna finds comfort and support with a cast of women at a halfway house -other former inmates who understand her pain and her hope.

Can Luna overcome the anger that consumed her for so long and make this second chance at life count? Or will she lose everything she fought for in the flames of her past?
