Orange
is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison
by Piper Kerman
When
FBI agents knocked on her door to investigate a ten-year-old crime,
Piper Kerman barely resembled the reckless young woman she was
shortly after graduating Smith College. Happily ensconced in a New
York City apartment, with a promising career and an attentive
boyfriend, she was suddenly forced to reckon with the consequences
of her very brief, very careless dalliance in the world of drug
trafficking a decade earlier.
