Award-winning writer Monice Mitchell Simms' engrossing debut novel, "Address: House of Corrections" seamlessly shifts through time and locale to follow the empowering, entertaining journey of Merry, a stubborn 32-year-old ex con and recovering addict, who moves to 1947 Detroit as a spunky twelve-year-old with her estranged mother and comes full circle as Merry fights to stay sane, stay straight and make peace with her children and her torrid past. Gritty, yet hopeful, Mitchell Simms ingeniously births refreshing characters in this, her first book in a trilogy series, and elevates what could have easily become a stereotypical hard luck tale into a literary triumph.Â
Narrated by Joy DeMichelle Moore, the cast also includes Toby Smith, Scott Peat, Quincy Lenear, Carl Gilliard, Cheryl Francis Harrington, Taji Coleman, Tangie Ambrose and Joy DeMichelle Moore in the leading role of Merry.Â
Presented here as an enthralling 12 episodic series based on the first two chapters of Mitchell Simms' novel, "Address: House of Corrections" will have you yearning for more.Â
