Corrections in Ink: A Memoir by Keri Blakinger

5.0

Wow. This is a tough book. I’m trying to read memoirs this year and I’m glad I picked this one but the content was difficult. I thought it was well written, honest, and unflinching in descriptions of addiction and the prison system. Sometimes memoirs feel like someone’s fresh realizations about their life, but the author has done so much thoughtful reflection and work to describe the person she was and her motivations in an almost detached way from the person she is now. This almost hopeful reflection helped me read through the hard parts.
