Here, 20 women--18 inmates and two of Lamb's cofacilitators--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--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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wally Lamb, I'll Fly Away Contributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.38w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061626395","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44148541292589,"sku":"9780061626395","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_9fdd2281-1124-4367-82de-8ccee6ebe96e.jpg?v=1757226516","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/ill-fly-away-9780061626395","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
