Novelist Lamb's ("I Know This Much Is True" second collection of writing by the students in his writing workshop at the maximum-security York Correctional Institution in Connecticut, after "Couldn't Keep It to Myself"(2003), also focuses on the inspiring and raw emotions of women sharing the good and bad memories that shaped them. The 20 women whose work is featured here18 inmates and two of Lamb's cofacilitatorsshow that writing is not just a way of capturing their most private thoughts and gripping emotions (e.g., hope, despair, courage), but also a powerful tool to foster hope and healing. They write from the heart in works ranging from poems to essays to short stories; each vignette is more compelling than the one before it. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries.Susan McClellan, Shaler North Hills Lib., Glenshaw, PA Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
