I feel like every book I actually finish is 4-5 stars but this one definitely deserves it. The book is a memoir written by an ex felon that details her horrific experiences in the prison system, mixed with hope from her future and trauma in her past. She also carefully weaves in the acknowledgment of privilege in the prison system and the changes that need to be made.
