Unrecoverable: An American woman’s rescue from a Turkish prison

Shelly Lantz is a wife, homemaker, and joyful friend. If you met her today, you’d never know her untold story, the harrowing true tale of a young American girl who found herself abandoned in a stench-ridden Turkish prison cell. It’s a story like none other, and in this book, Shelly shares the most intimate, devastating, and ultimately miraculous series of events you’ve ever read.

When news of Shelly’s imprisonment in Turkey hit airwaves around the world, her cries for help went unheard. Alone and forgotten, she had countless hours to reminisce how she ended up in a cold, dank cell on the other side of the world. Her traumatic childhood and a series of bad decisions had long caged her in a world of violence, drugs, and prostitution.

While languishing in prison, a Bible was miraculously smuggled to Shelly by an American soldier and his wife. The events and miracles that followed are extraordinary and will be an ever-present reminder of God’s love and grace.
