Jane H. (janehutchi) - reviewed on 9/8/2009

The book starts out great but the second half quickly turns into stereotypes and disappointment. I don't think the ending ties in to the promise of change in the beginning and I wish the author had gone a different route with the story. Yes, things are hard but there are people who do overcome in spite of the odds. It doesn't have to be a "feel good" tale but ditching the stereotypes would have been a step in the right direction to educating people about the broad prison population and how many do succeed at never going back to the same old mistakes and behaviors.
