She has also become a touchstone for womens, prostitutes, and prisoners rights advocates. Her story has inspired myriad books and articles, as well as the 2003 movie Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Academy Award. But until now, Wuornoss uncensored voice has never been heard.Dear Dawn is Wuornoss autobiography culled from her ten-year death row correspondence with beloved childhood friend Dawn Botkins.
