Denise Sassoon

In 1975, at the age of 21, Denise Sassoon was sentenced to "no less than five, no more than fifteen" years in the Arizona State Prison for Women. The years she spent in prison and the choices she made following her incarceration tested her resilience and her strength, awakened her heart to true love, and helped her have the courage to start healing her life's greatest wounds. In her book Five to Fifteen: A Woman, A Prison, A Redemption, Denise candidly shares details of her life's journey of transformation and inspires others with the awareness that at any given moment they can change their lives by making a different choice. Denise resides in her hometown of Tucson, Arizona, with her partner, Liz, and their beloved Maltese named Bentley. Denise is currently writing her second book.
