Search - Couldn't Keep It to Myself: Testimonies from Our Imprisoned Sisters

Great read, some chilling stories. Wonderful to get an account of lives that we would not hear about otherwise.

Fascinating writing by the women of York Correctional Institution. Wally Lamb, who gave us She's Come Undone did a fine job of gathering these essays written by the women in the prinson while they worked through a writing program offered to them.

Controversial collection of stories written by female prisoners helped by Wally Lamb. Interesting,unexpected insights.

The stories were interesting, but very similar to one another. These are one sided stories and I am sure there is another side to each, the stories were tragic and I admit these women have been through alot, but I still think that there may be more that we don't know about. It was interesting but given the option I would not read it again.

I read this book because I love Wally Lamb but it is different in that it's nonfiction instead of fiction. There are stories told from several different women imprisoned for an extended period of time. It's not as voyeristic as I might have liked as I probably wanted to know more about the actual crimes these women committed but it's interesting all the same. These women wrote as part of the healing process and so they picked a poignent time in their life, a time they felt was significant. Wally Lamb didn't write it, more like collected stories.

Excellent, so looking for the next book coming out later this year.
