Synopsis
Fifty Two Sisters: Life Behind the Razor Wire Fence is a book populated with broke-down dreamers, busted families, rampant drug addiction, and a sharp look at a fatally flawed system that at it's best is content being a human warehouse or worse yet a place so dehumanizing that hope dies. That is Shannon Willitts Falk s story. The story she tells is the raw and honest account of her life in the Sonoma County women s jail, which, surprisingly, ends in a revelation that changes her future. Falk s diagnosis with bipolar disease changes everything. And as life rafts go it is better than rehab because it brings understanding to the confusion.
