Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom

by Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

Writing a memoir wasn’t my idea; it was y’alls.

I’d like to think of this endeavor as a rewrite of a misinformed story you’ve been told, like the Taylor’s Version rerecordings. I’m no Taylor Swift, but if this ebook were an album, I’d title it Gypsy’s Version

I had learned that people out there—especially when they have nothing to lose—can screw with you just out of spite or jealousy or for their own self-interest.

I didn’t realize there were things in my life that weren’t normal until I got to prison and worked through it all.

There are times I omit things to benefit me or make me out to be better than I am.

Am I even an actual person, or am I just a character?

I love dictionaries.
