In the Shadow of the Acropolis

About the Book

Julia is an Australian woman who was apprehended by police in Athens. She was incarcerated in Korydallos Prison as she struggled to prove her innocence. Julia shared her life with women who had committed petty crimes as well as those who had committed gruesome murders.

Her health suffers, and she overcomes a distressing accident, but she never gives up hope. This ordeal completely changes her outlook on life forever.
