1. This is a work of fiction but very much illustrates the challenges of women, especially pregnant women and mothers, in prison. What did you learn about women in prison that you didn’t know before?

2. Did this book change the way you think about incarcerated mothers?

3. Why do you think Camille was compelled to take on Charli’s case?

4. There’s quite a big twist at the end of the story that unites Charli and Camille. Did you see that coming?
