Once upon A Betrayl

By: Hall, Kelly J.

Once Upon a Betrayal follows Kimmie Smith, a newly divorced mother of four who becomes a correctional officer hoping for stability and a fresh start. Instead, she is thrown into the chaos of a maximum security mens prison with almost no training and even less support. From her first day as a cadet to the violent reality of Rivers Bend, she learns quickly that inmates watch everything, officers are not always trustworthy, and survival depends on instinct, humor, and refusing to break. She outruns military cadets at the academy, faces gang members twice her size, and survives riots, stabbings, corruption, and a warden who would rather silence her than protect her. The real danger is not the inmates but the betrayal inside the system meant to keep her safe. Raw, intense, and darkly funny, Once Upon a Betrayal is a memoir style thriller about strength, motherhood, corruption, and the moments that turn ordinary women into survivors.
