Code Name

In this inspirational memoir, Lisa M. Cook recounts her five-and-a-half-month legal battle in Kingston, Jamaica, and the friendship, faith, and determination that got her through it.

When she was twenty-four, Lisa was a single mother with a three-year-old daughter. To provide for her child, Lisa agreed to run a drug shipment from Jamaica to the United States. She was caught before she could ever leave the island and ended up facing more dangers than a simple prison sentence...

Cook is now a teacher, public speaker, and author based out of Massachusetts. She works with children and young adults to help them form better social skills, self-esteem, and self-acceptance. Cook speaks and writes about the challenges many young people face. She hopes her work will inspire others to take up the torch and continue to provide understanding and acceptance to children who need it.
