The book is primarily directed, at those who have ended up in prison. Its boot camp narrated content, is a spiritual attempt to help the criminal mind out of its criminality. Also, to help others not behind bars, but trapped in an internal created unhappy prison in the mind, with their unproductive thought process, repetitive abnormal behavior & created reality. From the author’s experience, this acquired nemesis can be the cause of much misery in life for those afflicted. Often linked, to a not life-supportive unhappy home & immature parental environment in infancy & childhood. To then unconsciously, cause crippling happiness & joy in later adulthood…also called delinquency. A adult fate, created through suppressed traumatic psychological & emotional experience acquired during infancy & childhood. A so vulnerable time for a child’s growing personality, character & delicate mind, more so in a love & affection deprived environment. Childhood, where there is no developed intellect to reason with and maturely, separate fact from fiction & fantasy from reality. The book also explains, that this Nature structured maturing of the intellect & emotions in adolescence, is greatly retarded when afflicted with a dysfunctional childhood. The symptoms of which, cause much internal misery for the individual. That has on-going detrimental repercussions for the individual, relationships, marriages & society in adulthood.

Many bibliographers focus on women who write. Lawyer Barnett looks at women who detect, at women as sleuths and at the evolving roles of women in professions and in society. Excellent for all women's studies programs as well as for the mystery hound.
