​Alicia S. Jones’ Sentenced to Live touched me in a way few books have. From the very first page, I could feel her pain, her courage, and her unwavering determination to trust God through the unimaginable. As I read her story — the heartbreak of losing her children, the miracle and challenge of raising a child with special needs — I saw the raw, unfiltered journey of a woman who refused to give up, even when life handed her every reason to. What makes this book so powerful is its honesty. Alicia doesn’t hide behind perfection or easy faith — she walks us through the dark nights, the questions, the tears, and the moments when God’s silence felt unbearable. Yet in that pain, she found purpose. Her faith didn’t just survive; it deepened. This book reminded me that survival is more than breathing — it’s choosing to live when your heart is shattered. It’s about holding on to God’s promises when the world says you can’t. Alicia’s story is a testimony of strength, surrender, and supernatural grace.

This book is truly something amazing! I decided to get back into the swing of reading as a part of my New Year’s resolution and began reading this memoir as a start. The raw emotions that Mrs. Jones pours into this project allowed me as reader to really connect and understand her perspective of life. There were a few things that I learned from this that I wouldn’t expect just by looking at the cover - you have to read to find out for yourself! Best blessings to you Mrs. Jones, can’t wait for the next book!

The book was a page turner and kept my attention the entire time. It shares the author's real life accounts of loss and her journey of becoming a mother. Her test became her testimony and it happens to all of us but when you're able to share on this level it offers some hope and encouragement for every reader regardless of what you're going through. The best book I’ve read in a very long time!!!!
