Summary
From the Sunday Times best-selling author Dr Amanda Brown.
Insights into the world of a prison doctor, this time taking us deeper into the walls of Bronzefield, the UK’s biggest women’s prison.
From the drug addicts who call Amanda ‘the mother I never had’ to the women who’ve pushed back at domestic abuse, to women close to release in their 70s, who just want to stay in the place that they’ve always known, these are stories that are heartbreaking, harrowing and heart-warming. Amanda listens, prescribes and does what she can. After all, she’s their doctor.
Critic reviews
"Written with both humour and deep concern for the lives of her incarcerated patients. It’s a poignant, compassionate read, giving an insight into the complicated and damaged lives of some of the offenders...a thoroughly enlightening and engaging book." (Mail on Sunday)
"A fascinating, sometimes funny, often gruelling account of working behind bars." (Observer)
"All of the highs and lows of prison life, with heart-warming honesty and anecdotes to make your sides split and your jaw drop in equal measure.... Amanda has filled her book full of funny tales that both she and the inmates have had a good giggle at." (Sunday Express S Magazine)

Loved it
I’m so impressed that someone has told the stories of so many who would’ve otherwise been lost. The story is excellent.
The accents are sometimes a little questionable but it didn’t detract from the story.

Sad and shocking stories
Another good read by Dr Amanda Brown. She has a way of telling some very emotional and interesting stories.
It must be a scary world behind bars for anyone. When you are a doctor that hears more than most though from the patients you are treating, life at times must become quite tough.
A gentle reminder why I never want to go to jail!
I would recommend but much like the first.

Brilliant
Very true accounts from the other side. It’s very true that anyone really can end up in prison.

A worthwhile listen, tragic, heartwarming, head in hands with despair for some of these poor woman.
I had really enjoyed listening to the first book by Dr Amanda Brown, so naturally was thrilled when I saw this was coming out. This story focuses much more on the just the woman’s stories, which although there are some heartwarming moments it really does make you feel so sad that some of these woman are in these situations, of course they have committed crimes, but the life’s they have lead, usually controlled, manipulated and abused by family or by partners and drug addiction usually follows as a way to escape the hell they are trapped in. The whole system is wrong .
