I would appreciate a review of PRISON LOVE, a non-fiction account on the various types of love I experienced first hand. During a six year incarceration in the hills of West, Virginia, I took the opportunity to explore the psychodynamics of the one survival instinct that if fought for, can be a teaching tool: love. Prison Love explores the extent to which women sought to keep their very existence intact. As a psychologist by training, I know love was the one thing that kept some women from literally loosing their minds.
