Writing, Lamb discovered, was a way for these women to confront painful memories, face their fears and their failures, and begin to imagine better lives. The <i>New York Times</i> described the book as "Gut-tearing tales . . . the unvarnished truth." The <i>Los Angeles Times</i> said of it, "Lying next to and rising out of despair, hope permeates this book." </p> <p> Now Lamb returns with <i>I'll Fly Away</i>, a new volume of intimate, searching pieces from the York workshop. Here, twenty women&#8212;eighteen inmates and two of Lamb's cofacilitators&#8212;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&#8212;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 one's life through the power of the written word. </p> 2790309 1 9 2007 I'll Fly Away: Further Testimonies from the Women of York Prison total:280|5:59|4:109|3:92|2:18|1:2| 280 1045 853 50 3 1 false false Tue Sep 09 14:55:55 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 15:05:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 20 04:43:01 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 02:47:05 -0700 2009
