Description
🏆 2021 BIBA® Non-Fiction Winner!
Meet: Baby, Alexa, Richmond, The Social Worker, and Mudd. Under the mean blaze of all-night fluorescents and clanging cell doors, six diverse women tell their stories—a teen who beat up her bully, a divorcee framed by her violent ex, a sex worker, a social worker, a pregnant mom caught up with the wrong gang, and an older yoga therapist—our writer—who is accused of singlehandedly assaulting four cops. It is her story, their stories, and our U.S. history of bullying and dominance in law enforcement; and it’s a story of kindness—six cellmates who share pain, trust, and their own brand of love, even as “criminals” in an unforgettable night of darkness.
