You may know Toby Dorr as the Dog Crate Lady and as the main character portrayed by Catherine Bell in the Lifetime Movie Jailbreak Lovers. Living with Conviction picks up where the movie left off, telling Dorr's real-life story with exhilarating and inspirational details about her prison experience and her life now.
Having never had so much as a traffic ticket, Dorr shattered her mold of perfection by helping a convicted murderer, a trainer in her prison dog program, escape in a dog crate. Her story is a lesson in perspective. Instead of focusing on everything she lost, Dorr made a conscious choice to use her 27 months in prison as a period to reflect on her life, heal emotional wounds, plot a course for the future, and embrace the sisterhood of women she encountered behind bars.
Far from easy, her prison sentence was gut-wrenching and devastating. But a pivoting revelation during a stay in suicide watch gave her purpose and direction. Filled with drama, action, adventure, heartache, and redemption, Dorr bears her soul and tells a story of heartbreak, courage, grace, and transformation.
While the escape made national headlines and captured the imaginations of an entire country, Dorr's memoir is an inspirational invitation to look upon life with self-acceptance and love. She pushes listeners through her captivating and emotional narration to move beyond the confines of their circumstances and live each moment with conviction, allowing its fullest, most beautiful potential to unfold.
