Here, 20 women--18 inmates and two of Lamb's cofacilitators--share the experiences that shaped them from childhood and that haunt and inspire them to this day. These portraits, vignettes, and stories depict with soul-baring honesty how and why women land in prison--and what happens once they get there. The stories are as varied as the individuals who wrote them, but each testifies to the same core truth: the universal value of knowing oneself and changing one's life through the power of the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wally Lamb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0\" H x 0\" L x 0\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780061626395\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50512006775088,"sku":"9780061626395","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780061626395.jpg?v=1774809739","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/ill-fly-away-wally-lamb-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
