This is one of the craziest books I've ever read.

Judy Henderson was sentenced to life in prison for a crime she didn't commit.

She spent 36 years in prison until the Governor pardoned her.

Here are 10 lessons from "When The Light Finds Us":

1) By the time Judy was freed, she had spent more time behind bars than in the free world.

2) Prison didn't just take away Judy's freedom, it also chipped away her humanity.

3) Holding on to belief in prison is like trying to grow flowers in concrete.

4) Don't be bitter, be better.

5) Books helped Judy rebuild herself.

6) Books helped Judy travel beyond the walls of prison.

7) To heal your wounds, try helping others.

8) Judy spent 18,934,560 minutes in prison.

9) We always have the power to choose who we become.

10) Even in chains, our choices remain our own.
