"No one understands addiction," she said. "It is like loving someone who doesn't love you back. You do it until you don't. Or until you die." After Nancy Jackson was arrested for DUI-not one, not twice, but five times- she got behind the wheel of her car, intoxicated, and was arrested. Incarcerated at the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, she spent a year behind bars, living with people she couldn't tolerate and wouldn't have associated with anywhere else.

"No one understands addiction," she said. "It is like loving someone who doesn't love you back. You do it until you don't. Or until you die." After Nancy Jackson was arrested for DUI-not one, not twice, but five times- she got behind the wheel of her car, intoxicated, and was arrested. Incarcerated at the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, she spent a year behind bars, living with people she couldn't tolerate and wouldn't have associated with anywhere else. She often wondered what it was that made her give up everything that meant anything to her. And finally she learned the answer: a disease called alcoholism. Two Hots and a Cot is a brutally honest and compelling day-by-day account of her journey on the road to recovery through the Oklahoma justice system. Living through nightmares in the dark and nightmares in the light of day, she learned to survive in the unknown and the unexpected. She learned to deal with despair, anger, and frustration, and turn it to hope. She found wisdom in the words of women who were incarcerated for drugs, alcohol, crimes against humanity and themselves; women who were mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and sisters. She found friendship, faith, and healing in the most unlikely place, behind bars. And she found God.
Autorenporträt
I, Nancy, the author of "One God and the Fallen Angels" believes the Bible is the infallible Word of God. When I was very young, maybe fifteen, I started writing. At first, I wrote poetry, a few short stories, and a couple of screenplays. Possibly, I wrote to keep my feelings secret.When I was a little girl, my Grandfather would read his Bible early in the morning, after lunch, and after dinner. At night, we would all pray on our knees. I would pray he would stop praying because my knees would hurt he prayed so long. I miss those days of security and love. I miss my Grandfather.I'm sure my Grandfather influenced my love for God. As far as, the turn I took regarding religion and Jesus, I suppose it happened because in talking to God he answered my questions over and over.In 2018, I retired from my nursing career. Since that time, I have been writing often. I love to write! I suppose I will write as long as I can think and breathe.
