Book Review: "The Prison Angel"by Helenmarie Zachritz
The Prison Angel by Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan, Penguin Press, $24.95 and paperback, $10.95
If you’ve never believed that there are angels everywhere, then this is the book for you in the bleak mid-winter living on the U.S.-Mexico border where tales of horror and wickedness prevail. It is the true story of a tiny woman who gave up the pleasures of her life in southern California to move into a jail cell in Tijuana. The Prison Angel is written in a compelling, moving fashion by two Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post foreign correspondents, Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan. They said they had never heard such a story of powerful goodness…and neither had I.
