Many children have grown up in the shadow of Louisiana's Greenmount State Penitentiary. Most of them - sons and daughters of corrections officers and staff - left the place as soon as they could. Yet Ginny Polk chose to come back to work as a prison cook. She knows the harsh reality of life within those walls - the cries of men being beaten, the lines of shuffling inmates chained together. Yet she has never seen them as monsters, not even the ones sentenced to execution.

Simple & Contrived
Revisado: 05-03-18
This book had such an interesting perspective that could have been thought-provoking and moving. Instead we get a strange, semi-pedophilloic love story, a typically vicious mother-daughter relationship, a simplistic, boiled-down race relations theme and an overdone tiny-but-fierce female protagonist.
The narration was slow, had too many pauses and if she chirped "HE said" or "SHE said" so harshly one more time, I might have exploded.
I love historical fiction and desperately wanted to love this book, but it just didn't happen for me.
