The inspiration for the character of Alex Vause on Orange Is the New Black speaks out for the first time about her relationship with Piper Kerman, her involvement in an international drug-smuggling ring, and the bold decisions and epic mistakes that led to the infamous orange jumpsuit. ?A powerful, surprising memoir about crime and punishment, friendship and marriage, and a life caught in the ruinous drug trade and beyond.?? Publishers Weekly ?In prose that is brilliant (at times breathtaking), Cleary offers us a story of regret and redemption. . . . She writes unflinchingly about her ordeals in the violent and overcrowded prison system.??HuffPost Books ?Wolters's accessible and honest memoir opens the door and invites readers in. Patrons won't meet Alex Vause, the sultry drug-trafficking queen of OITNB. Instead, they'll meet Wolters?a woman with aspirations, whose missteps take her on unexpected journeys.??Library Journal ?Can't-put-it-down entertainment.??Next Magazine ?A riveting tale, told well and full of lessons. Like many prisoners, she paid a big price for some relatively dumb actions, taken when she was young. . . Her life and loves then, her imprisonment to follow, and her way back to the free world are all detailed here in a voice that is heartfelt and honest, toughening when it needs to be but remaining steadfast.??

Autorenporträt
Cleary Wolters is the real-life inspiration for the character Nora Jansen in Piper Kerman's memoir and Alex Vause in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. Piper spent thirteen months in a Danbury, Connecticut, minimum-security prison beginning in 2004. Cleary, meanwhile, was charged with conspiracy to import heroin and served almost six years in a Dublin, California, prison before being paroled in 2008. Cleary has written poetry, fiction, and screenplays, the bulk of which were written during her prison sentence. This is her first memoir.
