Jeannette Tossounian owned an art gallery in the Niagara Region. Five days after her grand opening, she was a target of a violent arson which burnt down her gallery. Tossounian was wrongfully arrested for the crime. Spending two years in a maximum security cell after losing her entire life, Tossounian kept her spirit alive by using the little resources given to her to create a series of sketches, poems and other writings. This is her first of three books on the correctional system in Canada.
