Reviews
"Lying next to and rising out of despair, hope permeates the book. Why, in the end, does Lamb want us to care about 10 women in prison? Perhaps because in noticing the humanity of others, we become more human ourselves." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "An intriguing and powerful collection." -- Publishers Weekly "The pieces are uniformly wrenching . . . . Yet they are as far from self-pity as possible. There are things, says Lamb, that need 'to be known about prison and prisoners. There are misconceptions to be abandoned, biases to be dropped.' Here's a step in that direction." -- Kirkus Reviews "The 12 riveting, touching autobiographical accounts [of Couldn't Keep It to Myself] look past the bars to lay bare lives that would normally have gone unheard." -- Entertainment Weekly "Without resorting to pity or braggadocio, the stories detail the authors' early lives, prison experiences, relationships with abusive husbands and partners in heartbreaking, inspiring detail. . . .The stories in Couldn't Keep It to Myself are self-assured, deftly structured, and grippingly paced. Impressively, not one narrative comes across as an excuse or rationalization." -- New York Post

Synopsis
"Lying next to and rising out of despair, hope permeates the book. Why, in the end, does Lamb want us to care about 10 women in prison? Perhaps because in noticing the humanity of others, we become more human ourselves."-- Los Angeles Times Book Review Couldn't Keep It to Myself once again shows Wally Lamb's unmatched talent for finding the humanity in the lost and lonely. For the past several years Lamb has taught writing to women prisoners at the York Correctional Institution. With courage and candor, these women came to discover their voices, and to share tales of abuse, rejection, and their own self-destructive impulses. Yet these are stories of hope, humor, and the triumph of leaving victimhood behind to begin the process of healing. Lamb's powerful introduction describes the incredible, inspiring journey he and the women of York took through the writing process. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and striving for a better day., "Lying next to and rising out of despair, hope permeates the book.

I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!Flor y Canto; Tercera Edición Words and Music- 9781579921583, hardcover, Various (N° 388314820808)
- s***t (2240)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificato🎈🎈🧨🧨🎈🎈 This seller is all about service and customer satisfaction!! I ordered a book, received a book (very fast shipping), but it was not the title I ordered (same subject matter). I sent a message explaining what happened, received very quick response that was apologetic and requesting some additional info about the book I received. Sent that info and again very quick response. The book I wanted was not in stock, a full refund was issued, and I was allowed to keep the book I received!!😀
- 5***5 (306)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoUnfortunately I never received books, but it wasn’t seller’s fault. Tracking info proved items were honestly mailed out on time, so either postal service lost/mis-delivered package or it was stolen from my building mailroom. Whatever the case, seller gave me a full refund. I really appreciate them making it right & although I bought the books I wanted elsewhere, this seller is aboveboard & can be trusted & I’d buy from them again.
