Book excerpt: At nineteen and twenty-one, Jamie and Gladys Scott received double life sentences each for a crime that they did not commit. The crime? Armed robbery for only $11. Why was the prison sentence so severe? Why double life? After serving sixteen years in prison, the sisters are ready to share their story-the untold story. The sister's lives were taken and thrown into the hands of a callous Mississippi Prison. Nationally known for their bizarre case, Jamie and Gladys take readers behind closed doors of their early childhood in Chicago, behind the bars of the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, and underneath the blindfold of Mississippi's blind justice. After being absent for sixteen years, Jamie and Gladys Scott were released and now both struggle to reestablish family relationships. Excerpts from the actual court transcripts of their trial and the signed affidavit supporting their innocence are included in this poignant and inspiring memoir. "The Scott Sisters, Revealing the Truth, Exposing Injustice, and Trusting God "will take you on a journey of faith and introduce you to two women who are so much more than just the "Scott Sisters"-Jamie and Gladys, who..". had nothing or nobody else to hold on to, but God!"
