A fictional journey from exploitation toward freedom

25 to Life centers on Melissa, whose past as a victim of child exploitation has left her feeling imprisoned by trauma, memory, and despair. Presented as fiction inspired by true events, the novel traces her movement from victimisation toward survival and overcoming. Alongside Melissa’s story, the book frames freedom as an inward and spiritual struggle: confronting the damage done by others while holding onto the possibility of a different life. Its subject matter is difficult, with the narrative explicitly engaging exploitation, desperation, and the lasting constraints of traumatic experience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking fiction about survival after exploitation
  • Readers interested in stories of personal and spiritual liberation
  • Those looking for trauma-centered narratives of resilience

Book overview

MELISSA had received a life sentence.
She just wanted to die.
Any hope of ever tasting freedom,
lessened as time and memories started to crush her.

"How did I end up here?"
"What did I do to deserve this?"
Would she ever have the freedom to enjoy life,
or would she be lost forever
in the hell of someone else's making?

In a story of desperation,
that is filled with hope,
Orme takes you through one woman's journey
from being a victim of child-exploitation,
to that of a survivor and overcomer.

Justine Orme knows only too well
the prison that holds victims in slavery.
Her story of journeying into freedom
will shock and captivate you,
whilst propelling you forward
into your own triumphant liberty.

Inspired by true events,
this heart-wrenching fictional book
will shed light in an otherwise dark place
with its compelling, and life-changing
message of truth.

A story of victory over victimisation.
