High: My Prison Journey as One of the Infamous Peru Two

By: Michaella McCollum

Narrated by: Maeve Smyth

Previously published as 'You'll Never See Daylight Again'

The gritty prison memoir of Michaella McCollum, one half of the infamous 'Peru Two', imprisoned in a Peruvian jail for attempting to smuggle 11kg of cocaine from Peru to Madrid in August 2013.

She was just a regular girl, spending the summer working at a bar in Ibiza, until she was approached by a man who asked her if she'd like to make some quick, easy money...and it would change her life forever. This is the truth of her time in prison, told through her own diaries and letters to her mother, family and friends, recounting tales of vicious guards, psychotic inmates and horrendous prison conditions.

A brilliantly affecting tale of a naïve young girl who starts out in the Ibiza party scene and comes of age in the dark heart of Peru, before finally emerging into the sun a stronger, more confident, mature young woman.

Can’t believe this was free!

This story was absolutely riveting. I had a lot of trouble stepping away from it.

Must Read!

I could not put this book down. The determination of this young girl was memorizing. She has the upmost strength and desire to succeed.

Well written great narration

I recommend it.
I was especially impressed with the narration. Lots of different accents that were done very well. I thought it was read by the author at first.
I didn’t know about the religious prejudice in Ireland and I’d like to learn more.
The stories of the prison and the system were eye opening.
The story was told in a way that felt very natural.
I appreciate her sharing her story!

Wonderful

This was my first Audible and I was very pleased with the narration and the story itself kept me wanting more. Thank you for sharing you story with the world and best wishes to you and your family!!
