Corrections in Ink: A Memoir by Keri Blakinger

5.0

Outstanding and gripping memoir

I heard about this on NPR and tore through it in 2.5 days. It’s a well written, engrossing, largely self aware memoir of a woman who grew up in a somewhat privileged middle class home but had a strong self destructive streak. After a battle with addiction and a stretch in prison, she was able to put her life together and help incarcerated people through her journalism. Truly one of the best nonfiction books I’ve read in ages.

If you like this, I strongly recommend the podcast Ear Hustle.
