....
In her book, Unlikely Angel, released Tuesday, Smith says Nichols had her bound on her bed with masking tape and an extension cord. She says he asked for marijuana, but she did not have any, and she dug into her illegal stash of crystal meth instead.
....
Smith says in her book that as the night wore on after Nichols had snorted some of Smiths meth she tried to win Nichols trust by talking about her faith in God and relating to him her personal stories.
She says she told him how her husband had died in her arms four years earlier after being stabbed during a brawl.
She writes that she asked Nichols if he wanted to see the danger of drugs and lifted up her tank top several inches to reveal a five-inch scar down the center of her torso the aftermath of a car wreck caused by drug-induced psychosis. She says she let go of the steering wheel when she heard a voice saying, Let go and let God.
