Powerful . . . In Ill Fly Away, the women have penned well-drawn evocative pieces about their experiences . . . . Healing is happening through writing.-Lisa Ko, author of The LeaversThe #1 New York Times bestselling author offers an inspiring new collection of writings from the members of his acclaimed program in Connecticuts York Correctional FacilityIn 2003 Wally Lamb, published Couldnt Keep It to Myself, a collection of essays by the students in his writing workshop at the maximum-security York Correctional Institution, Connecticuts only prison for women. The New York Times described the book as Gut-tearing tales . . . the unvarnished truth.Now Lamb returns with Ill Fly Away, a new volume of intimate, searching pieces from the York workshop. Here, 20 women-18 inmates and two of Lambs 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 ones life through the power of the written word.
