About This Book
25 TO LIFE. Melissa wanted to die. She had received a life sentence. Any hope of ever tasting freedom lessened as time and memories started to crush her. “How did I end up here? What did I do to deserve this?” Would she ever have the freedom to enjoy life, or would she be lost forever in the hell of someone else’s making? In a story of desperation that is filled with hope, Orme takes you through one woman’s journey from being a victim of child exploitation, to that of a survivor and overcomer. Justine Orme knows only too well the prison that holds victims in slavery. Her story of journeying into freedom will shock and captivate you, whilst propelling you forward into triumphant liberty. Inspired by true events, this heart-wrenching fictional book will shed light in an otherwise dark place with its compelling, and life changing message of truth. A story of victory over victimisation.

About The Writer
Justine Orme
JUSTINE ORME. At the young age of 12, Justine was taken to Auckland University writers group by her Aunt, where she was encouraged by much older poets and writers. With school and life happening, the ability to write lay dormant for many years, although surfacing occasionally to write editorials for magazines. Now retired, the urge for Justine to write again, has hit with the first of the 'I Am Beryl' chronology of five books, published. With seven other manuscripts tucked away, Justine's life is certainly not the sedentary retirement she thought was in store. Jesus is the centre of all that Justine is. With a lifetime of knowing the Lord, her inner strength, and understanding of the things of God shows in her daily interactions with others. Justine and husband Stan live in North Auckland, together with their two crazy cats. They have two adult daughters.
