Solitary K. Wiley Sider

After the first few days, Abby easily fell into the rhythm of prison. Timing was regimented, as were their activities, and life on B Unit was predictable if not a little boring. Find redemption, violence, and even love within the walls of a women?s prison in K. Wiley Sider?s riveting novel, Solitary. Abby never imagined she would end up in prison. But after a chance run-in with an old family friend, she finds herself sentenced to a five-year term at Maysville Correctional Facility for Women after pleading guilty to conspiracy to traffic marijuana. There she becomes drawn into the drama, violence, and against-all-odds hope of the women in Unit B. From her cellmate, Mad T, to the elderly fundamentalist Christian who leads a revenge group nicknamed the God Squad, no one is exempt from the prison?s daily power struggles. As she tries to forge a new life, Abby finds herself falling for Quinn, a reserved prison guard whose attempt to suppress his attraction for Abby isn?t fooling anyone. Struggling to find a semblance of happiness within the confines of her cell, Abby can?t help but wonder, what will she do when?and if?she ever gets out?
