Ditch Dreams Cindy Butler

Messalina considered herself just another woman searching for personal happiness and fulfillment. What Messalina did not expect was the bitter survival situations life would throw at her in her quest. Before Messalina could process her own motives, she found herself imprisoned and branded a murderer. Life became brutal as she fought through prison riots, betrayal and near death negotiations with the prison rats. Messalina survived her prison term only to find herself alone and still wondering where her personal happiness was hiding. She vowed to take charge of her life and become that elusive, contented, and fulfilled woman that she knew was just around the next corner. But as she navigated those corners, and began to touch the skirts of the self-fulfillment, revenge and destruction stepped right in her path. Ditch Dreams is filled with real life experiences and self-discovery as Messalina breaks free and embraces her journey. Through this journey she learns to accept the present and appreciate her own self-worth.
