Book Review: Surprisingly good
Summary: 4 Stars
Cooper deftly avoids the cheesiness associated with "women in prison" stories with believable characters and a storyline that easily hooks the reader. It was a quick read with the satisfaction of justice and a happy ending, without schmaltz. I've come to have lower expectations of small press titles, because it often seems apparent why they would have been rejected as large press offerings, but that's not the case here. This was my first Blayne Cooper book, but it won't be my last.
Summary of Hard Times
Years ago, Lorna Malachi, a frightened teenager, was plunged into a nightmare called Blue Ridge Women's Correctional Facility. Terrified and desperate to belong, she sold her soul one piece at a time. She survived to sit atop the ever-shifting trash heap of prison society.Lorna has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, particularly penal system virgins like Kellie Holloway, her unrepentant new cellmate. But Kellie's pride and cluelessness guarantee that without help, she won't last long.
Together, Kellie and Lorna navigate through an oppressive, hidden world where the lines between right and wrong blur, sexual passion is forbidden but explosive, and love is the biggest risk of all.
