This fascinating book was written by an undercover journalist cum guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. He has a unique perspective in that he was a prisoner himself, for seven years. In four months he was able to see and experience much of what is wrong with our prison system, today and since its inception. Reads like a suspense novel, but you're burdened with that unfortunate knowledge that this isn't fiction.
Wow. Wanna learn about politics and race in Dallas? Well, this book will give you that and even something about why JFK met his demise in that city. Enlightening but sad and disheartening.
I wouldn't have thought someone could write a captivating book all about, well, the love story of a hypnotist. But apparently, it can be done. There is, of course, more to it than that, and many layers that will make you question what you thought you believed. It moves right along, and in true Liane Moriarty style, carries you completely.
