An interesting story of how 3 different women's lives intersect. A touching story about how a paradigm shift can alter your view of nearly any situation. I liked it, didn't love it.

I LOVED this book. It was one of the best that I read this year. The characters were really believeable and explored the ambiguity some people feel about the death penalty. Great read! I was sad to see it end.

Read this in one sitting. I loved the stories behind the story, told in each of the women's point of views, all of which are serving their time, whether behind bars or alone outside them. It gave a real human experience of living in prison, knowing your days are numbered. I thought the general story could have been a bit more developed, as you can guess the ending way before it happens, but overall i enjoyed reading this one. I am interested in reading more of Amanda Eyre Ward's books.

I just finished reading this book and really enjoyed it. It is about 3 women who you would think have nothing in common, but in the end their lives cross over to each other. Each chapter is told from one of the women's point of view.
I found the book easy to read and easy to follow. One of the main topics is the death penalty. Although this book does not change my mind on the subject, it did bring a different perspective for me to think about.

Very interesting look at the death penalty and the lives of five women who intersect around the topic.
