Couldn't Keep It To Myself by Wally Lamb

Testimonies from Our Imprisoned Sisters

A collection of raw, personal narratives written by women in a Connecticut prison workshop, offering intimate accounts of childhood trauma, addiction, crime, motherhood, and the events that led to incarceration. The stories move between candid confession and hard-won insight, revealing both the damage of past abuse and the resilience, remorse, and search for redemption that sustain the writers inside and beyond prison walls.
