“Brave, brutal . . . a riveting story about suffering, recovery, and redemption. Inspiring and relevant.” —The New York Times An electric and unforgettable memoir about a young woman's journey—from the ice rink, to addiction and a prison sentence, to the newsroom—and how she emerged with a fierce determination to expose the broken system she experienced. Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice. For the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell. Then, on a cold day during her senior year, the police caught her walking down the street with a Tupperware full of heroin. Her arrest made the front page of the local news and landed her behind bars for nearly two years. There, in the Twilight Zone of New York’s jails and prisons, Keri grappled with the wreckage of her missteps and mistakes as she sobered up and searched for a better path. Along the way, she met women from all walks of life—who were all struggling through the same upside-down world of corrections. As the days ticked by, Keri came to understand how broken the justice system is and who that brokenness hurts the most. After she walked out of her cell for the last time, Keri became a reporter dedicated to exposing our flawed prisons as only an insider could. Written with searing intensity, unflinching honesty, and shocks of humor, Corrections in Ink uncovers that dark, brutal system that affects us all. Not just a story about getting out and getting off drugs, this galvanizing memoir is about the power of second chances; about who our society throws away and who we allow to reach for redemption—and how they reach for it.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a replacement of the book 'Corrections in Ink' by Keri Blakinger, nor is it endorsed by the author. It is rather a brief, yet contextual summary of the contents of the book in details by independent publisher Wayne R. Hall. ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK Corrections in Ink is an explosive and fascinating memoir of a young woman's journey-from the ice rink, through addiction and a jail sentence, to the newsroom-emerging with a determined ambition to expose the dysfunctional system she encountered. An exceptional, competitive figure skater growing up, Keri Blakinger devoted herself to the sport, even participating in nationals. But when her skating relationship ended unexpectedly, her life collapsed. With all the passion she reserved for the ice, she dived into self-destruction. From her first taste of heroin, the following nine years would be a blur-living on the streets, hunting for a vein, selling drugs and sex, finally diving over a bridge when it all got too much, all while attempting to pull herself together enough to complete her degree at Cornell. Then, on a frigid day during Keri's senior year, the cops stopped her. Caught with a Tupperware container full of heroin, she was detained and led into a holding cell, a county jail, and eventually into a state prison. There, in the brutal "upside down," Keri observed callous circumstances and met women from all walks of life-people who would alter Keri forever Not merely a narrative about getting out and getting off drugs, this fascinating memoir is about seeking atonement inside oneself, as well as from the outside world, and the power of second chances. Written in a scorching voice, Corrections in Ink is presented with uncompromising honesty and jolts of irreverent humor, it unveils a dark and harsh system that touches us all.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am out of clean clothes, I cannot find my glasses, my English paper is late, and my pockets are not big enough for all the heroin I have. But I want a cigarette more than anything. I am only ten minutes from where I’m going, and it’s cold outside. #2 I like to be prepared for when I might need more heroin. I leave behind the small digital scale, assorted pills, and my backpack of schoolwork. But then the drugs kick in, and I accidentally nod out for an hour or so in the bathroom. #3 I was arrested for drug possession, and while I was handcuffed and in the back seat of the police car, the pills I had swallowed began to kick in. I was seventeen and alone, sitting on a cement step somewhere around Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. #4 I am tightly wound, a taut rubber band of perfectionism and self-destruction. I am about to make things worse. I have been too out of it to pay attention to my surroundings, and I’ve lost my glasses, anyway, further blurring the corners of this unfamiliar world.

'A groundbreaking debut from an extraordinary writer ... a testament to where a woman can go after rock-bottom' PIPER KERMAN , New York Times bestselling author of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK Keri Blakinger's brave, brutal memoir, Corrections in Ink, is a riveting story about suffering, recovery and redemption' DAVID SHEFF, NEW YORK TIMES 'A raw, fast-paced portrait of one woman's descent into a mental abyss' Irish Independent Keri Blakinger had always lived at full throttle. Whether flying through the air, chasing Olympic dreams on the ice rink; surviving on as few calories as she could; or balancing a heroin addiction with pursuing a degree at an Ivy League university. But on a cold December day, Keri is arrested with a Tupperware container full of heroin. Shortly afterwards, she is convicted and sent to prison. Forced to confront her addiction, Keri finally manages to break free of it, and finds herself in a place unlike anything she has experienced before: a world built on senseless brutality, but whose inhabitants, her fellow inmates, will change her life forever. Written in luminous prose, with searing honesty and flashes of dark humour, Corrections in Ink shines a light on a broken prison system, and the cruelty and kindness Blakinger experienced there. It is a radical call for justice, and a testament to the power of finding one's voice.

The deluxe eBook edition of Elvis Costello's Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink features two hundred additional photos and images, including more from Costello's original lyrics notebooks and a selection of his family's most intriguing documents and vintage photographs. Pages from his father's scrapbooks from the early '50s Merseyside jazz scene are contrasted with a ledger of setlists and meagre fees from the author's early musical partnership in Rusty on the Liverpool club scene and other mementoes from Costello's musical apprenticeship. There are numerous candid shots of the artist and his collaborators, both on stage and behind the scenes, along with a touching collection of signatures, mostly dedicated to the young Declan MacManus in his autograph book from the 1960s, all of which charts a journey from fan to pop star and back again. Over an hour of excerpts from the audio edition are also featured, including several wonderful anecdotes that were ultimately omitted from the book. These additions serve to enrich the story of an incredible life in music, phenomenally well told. Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink is the long-awaited memoir from Elvis Costello, one of rock and roll's most iconic stars. Born Declan Patrick MacManus, Elvis Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, grandson of a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of a jazz musician who became a successful radio dance band vocalist. Costello went into the family business and had taken the popular music world by storm before he was twenty-four. Costello continues to add to one of the most intriguing and extensive songbooks of the day. His performances have taken him from a cardboard guitar in his front room to fronting a rock and roll band on your television screen and performing in the world's greatest concert halls in a wild variety of company. Unfaithful Music describes how Costello's career has somehow endured for almost four decades through a combination of dumb luck and animal cunning, even managing the occasional absurd episode of pop stardom. This memoir, written with the same inimitable touch as his lyrics, and including dozens of images from his personal archive, offers his unique view of his unlikely and sometimes comical rise to international success, with diversions through the previously undocumented emotional foundations of some of his best known songs and the hits of tomorrow. The book contains many stories and observations about his renowned co-writers and co-conspirators, though Costello also pauses along the way for considerations on the less appealing side of infamy. Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is destined to be a classic, idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man.
