Official synopsis Publisher
Years ago, Lorna Malachi, a frightened teenager, was plunged into a nightmare called Blue Ridge Women’s Correctional Facility. Terrified and desperate to belong, she sold her soul one piece at a time. She survived to sit atop of the ever-shifting trash heap of prison society.
Lorna has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, particularly penal system virgins like Kellie Holloway, her unrepentant new cellmate. But Kellie’s pride and cluelessness guarantee that without help, she won’t last long.
Together, Kellie and Lorna navigate through an oppressive, hidden world where lines between right and wrong blur, sexual passion is forbidden but explosive, and love is the biggest risk of all.
