She Can Fly: The True Story of Kerry Keyes

A young woman's harrowing journey across state lines to escape an endless cycle of abuse. Raised in a comfortable middle class neighborhood in America's Midwest, Kerry's seduction by a master manipulator plunges her into a world of deceit and violence. Forced to perform illegal acts to keep herself alive and her family intact, she spirals downward, ending up behind bars. As the web of deception intensifies, Kerry's relentless quest for freedom takes her from prisoner to fugitive. Living under a false identity buys her time, but luck runs out... 

"Michael G. Gabel has reconstructed a remarkable, terrible, ineffably sad, and ultimately grace-saved life. She Can Fly is a generational meditation on suffering, redemption, and the debts we owe to one another: difficult to read, extraordinary to read, essential to read." - Joseph Rago, The Wall Street Journal

"She Can Fly is a story that needs to be told. The World Health Organization estimates that 1 in 3 women worldwide experience domestic violence. But it effects so many more of us. This is the largest hidden social problem of our time, and it is up to you and I to speak up and take action. This book is a bold step in raising awareness, uncovering the violence that keeps a paralyzing grip on people's lives, and bringing new hope to a life of freedom and safety. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for telling your story, Kerry!" - Julia Wiklander, Founder & Executive Director of Girls' Globe
