Living with Conviction

The real-life story behind the Lifetime Movie "Jailbreak Lovers". This book picks up where the movie left off, and gives you important details the movie didn't cover. What happened before and after? What was prison like? Where is Toby Young Dorr now?
Having never had so much as a traffic ticket, Toby Dorr shattered her mold of perfection by helping a convicted murderer, a trainer in her prison dog program, escape in a dog crate. Her story is a lesson in perspective. Instead of focusing on everything she lost, Dorr made a conscious choice to use her twenty-seven months in prison as a period to reflect on her life, heal emotional wounds, plot a course for the future, and embrace the sisterhood of women she encountered behind bars.
Far from easy, her prison sentence was gut-wrenching and devastating. But a pivoting revelation during a stay in suicide watch gave her purpose and direction. Filled with drama, action, adventure, heartache, and redemption, Dorr bears her soul and tells a story of heartbreak, courage, grace, and transformation.
While the escape made national headlines and captured the imaginations of an entire country, Dorr's memoir is an inspirational invitation to look upon life with self-acceptance and love. She pushes readers to move beyond the confines of their circumstances and live each moment with conviction, allowing its fullest, most beautiful potential to unfold.

Known as The Dog Lady, Toby Dorr started Safe Harbor, a prison dog program that helped inmates develop compassion and responsibility. Once trained, the well-adjusted dogs were offered to local families for adoption. Following her time in prison, Dorr set out on a new mission to help women escape their emotional prisons and rebuild their lives. Through workbooks and programs known as the Unleashed Series, Dorr profiles stories of amazing women from history as well as women in local communities who have spent time in prison and are now making a difference in the world. Dorr uses these examples to encourage participants to examine their own lives, let go of limiting beliefs, live in gratitude, and expand their horizons.
