Joan Susan Bowman Releases BAR NONE

In Joan Susan Bowman's new book Bar None - No Bar Need Keep Us in Prison No Bar Need Keep Us from Heaven ($15.49, paperback, 9781498482196; e-book, $7.99, 9781498482202), readers are encouraged to find the silver lining in every situation; making beauty from ashes by focusing on the positive to alleviate the negative. Bowman hopes that her readers will realize the reality of freedom in whatever situation they may find themselves in, because in freedom we find true peace.

Bowman says, "Current statistics report that over two million adults are incarcerated in US Federal and state prisons and county jails every year. Remarkable loss is felt on both sides of the razor wire fence. Untold numbers, including children, are affected by imprisonment every day. This book has the ability to reach those touched by incarceration, to find hope and healing; which just might help to lower these awful statistics."

Joan Susan Bowman experienced many successful years as a business leader in the greater Cleveland area and enjoyed a loving relationship for over 40 years with the love of her life, Howard. Since her release from prison in 2011, Joan has volunteered with several prison ministries and assisted many in need on a daily basis. This is Joan's first publication.
