Publisher's Summary

A gripping and emotional but seriously flawed life of one family's will to survive alone together, off-the-grid, while braving the wilderness with courage to survive and with a desire to defy the odds to remain alive - all based on a true story. 

Beautiful Prison is a story of family suffering from domestic abuse by a manipulative and abusive father who isolates his family into the wild untamed Idahoan Mountains. The incredible true story portrays the lessons learned through the eyes of childhood emotional neglect from an emotionally immature parent and how eight siblings who survived an unspeakable childhood found the road back from surviving the forest. 

One mother discovers all that's wrong with the spiral of toxic events which led to the ultimate survival of her children and why a meaningful life is not supposed to be this way. Running on empty, she learned how to stop doubting and do what it takes to reverse childhood adversity and promote self healing through self-discovery.
