From Incarceration to Inspiration
Toby Dorr is proof that even in the darkest chapters of our lives, transformation is possible. Known for her bold escape from a maximum security prison with an inmate, Toby’s story could have ended in tragedy—but she refused to let it define her. Instead, she chose to rewrite her narrative, turning shame and regret into resilience, strength, and redemption.
Today, Toby is a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change. As an author, speaker, and advocate, she shares her journey of self-discovery and transformation with the world. Through her work, she empowers others to find their voice, embrace their truth, and step into their power.

I loved this book. It is an easy read; ripe with honesty and redemption. I judged the author until I read her story. Hers is like so many women, including myself, who grew up with low self-esteem. We all make choices in life to fill the voids that pain creates. My choice was to have a child out of wedlock when it was not socially acceptable to do so. Hers was different and resulted in a prison sentence. Her path led to healing not only herself but many others as well. I learned so much about the penitentiary system, and now have more empathy for many inmates. This story is worth reading first-hand. I never watched the TV movie.
