challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

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.

i liked a lot of individual parts but it didn't feel like they all were integrated into a book. i almost wonder if i would have enjoyed it more as a collection of essays rather than a unified narrative.

When Keri is busted with a large amount of heroin, she ends up in jail. This book is a memoir of her experiences, highs, and lows to get to where she is today.

This was hard to read but extremely well written. I learned so much about how the prison system works in the United States. I found myself invested in Keri’s journey and thinking about people in a way I probably hadn’t in the past.
