"I wanted to read this book ... a beautifully narrated story about how amazing women can be, and I will always remember it." - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

With her career, her boyfriend, and her beloved family, Piper Kerman doesn't seem at all like the rebellious young woman who got involved with drug dealers and delivered a suitcase of drug money to Europe more than a decade ago. However, when she least expects it, her dangerous past catches up with her. Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months in a notorious women's prison in Connecticut, Piper becomes inmate #11187-424.

From her first strip search to her final release, she learns to navigate this strange world with its arbitrary rules and codes, unpredictable, and often dangerous relationships. She meets women from all social classes, who surprise her with acts of generosity, harsh truths, and simple acts of acceptance.

An original comedy-drama series from Netflix, Piper's story offers a fascinating, moving, and often humorous look at life inside. Pages: 352, Year of Publication: 0718, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm
