Book Review
On The Inside
Kim Cano
Book Description:
She didn't know what she stood to lose - until hope was all
she had left.
Kristen was living the dream - a loving husband, adorable
children, a successful career. Why hadn't it been enough? She's had a lot of
time to ponder the answer - behind bars.
It was a little fudging of the numbers, just once to cover
some unpaid bills. Somehow, she wound up a convicted white-collar criminal,
sentenced to a women's prison full of drug dealers and murderers, enduring days
of mind-numbing tedium punctuated by moments of harrowing violence. A place
where respect is earned with one's fists.
Yet within these walls, random acts of kindness occur,
friendships form, and people fall in love. Letters from her sister-in-law keep
Kristen connected to the family she's lost. They give her hope that someday she
might be given a second chance. But first, she must face the personal demons
lurking in the shadows of her soul - and find a way to forgive herself.

My 5-Star Review:
Kristen goes to prison for stealing from her employer and
soon learns that life on the inside is a complicated combination of boredom, loneliness,
stress, and fear. She’s lost everything—her husband won’t speak to her and her
children are being kept away from her, too. Without the kindness of her
sister-in-law who writes to her regularly, she would be completely lost.
As the years go by, Kristen makes friends and enemies. She
finds her own path in the prison system with the goal to get out someday and
hopefully be a part of her family’s life again.
On The Inside by Kim Cano is a thought-provoking story
filled with interesting characters and the lives they lead inside prison. Peppered
with strong emotions and heartfelt connections, you will find yourself
intrigued by the women who live behind bars and their many stories. I highly recommend
this novel to those who enjoy a realistic telling of what it takes to live on
the inside.
