Bruised and Beautiful: My Soul’s Journey from Privilege to Prison to Peace

Allison Doan’s inspiring memoir chronicles how she tumbled from a life of elite privilege, to incarceration in Federal Prison, to finally resting in God’s peace. This is a journey of self-discovery and the growing of her faith in the midst of her pain and struggle-both with prison and now her battle with Stage Four lung cancer.
Sometimes growth comes through loneliness and suffering.

As her relationship with God has grown,

Allison has learned

to love and forgive herself

and to glorify Christ in all things;

continuing to strive to be

the good and faithful servant

that the Lord desires.
