Sandra Gregory was living a life in Bangkok that many only dream of - until illness, unemployment and political unrest turned it into a nightmare. Desperate to get home, she agreed to smuggle an addict's personal supply of heroin. She didn't even make it onto the plane. In this remarkably candid memoir, Sandra Gregory tells of the events leading up to her arrest, the horrific conditions in Lard Yao prison, her trial in a language she didn't understand and how it feels to be sentenced to death. Her journey to the UK resumed some four and a half years later when she was transferred to the British prison system, where she had to adapt to a new yet equally harsh regime. Following relentless campaigning by her parents, who refused to forget they had a daughter, she was pardoned by the King of Thailand and released in 2000. "Forget You Had A Daughter" is the extraordinary story of a good woman who made a mistake that changed the rest of her life.

A brilliant book and easy read, i read it within a day on holiday this year. Its a great book with i fantastic insight into the world of prison life in thailand and britain. It goes into detail about the backpacking life in thailand and how in 1993 sandra gregory ended up iserving part of a 25year sentance in thailand via drug trafficking then after a 4 & 1/2 years was finally transferred to england which she describe other than the general living conditions as being worse due to the treatment from most english prison guards and officers, sandra had encounters with many other well known prisoners including rosemary west as well as meeting Patricia Cahill and Karen Smith in the same prison who waere also caught trafficking drugs. I have read many prison stories, most of which have been great & this one i would definitely recommend.
