31 Days and a Wake Up: My 30 Day Journey Back to Freedom

5 years, 11 months, and 29 days. This is how long April Nachelle Barksdale spent as inmate #312241 in a maximum security prison within the South Carolina Department of Corrections.‘31 Days and a Wake-Up’ takes you on a journey through the last month of her amazing story of triumph through her incarceration. ‘31 Days and a Wake-Up’ is full of hope, fear, and raw emotion as she prepares herself for her impeding date with freedom back into a world that she hadn’t been a part of for 6 years. Bob Marley once said, You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice. April lived that quote as she somehow found the strength to make it to the end.
