Hard Times

the long version

Years ago, a frightened teenager named Lorna Malachi was plunged into a nightmare called Blue Ridge Women's Correctional Facility. Terrified and desperate to belong, she sold her soul—one piece at a time. Lorna has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, particularly penal system virgins like Kellie Holloway, her unrepentant new cellmate. Kellie's stubborn pride and naiveté guarantee that without help, she won't last long in her new surroundings. Together, Kellie and Lorna navigate through an oppressive, hidden world where lines between right and wrong blur, sexual passion is forbidden but explosive, and love is the biggest risk of all. —Back cover
