Part 2 of the Prisoner's Wife

If you read the Prisoner's Wife by asha bandele, loved it and wanted more, you are not alone. I heard she was writing a second memoir but have no idea when it is coming. But so many questions remain, I always wondered about what happened with her relationship with her incarcerated husband, Rashid.

NYT published an excerpt from an essay by asha that discusses her marriage, her child and the strength required to be a woman. I love her because she is so honest and open. I admire that incredibly and this essay is no different.

i would totally read another memoir, so hopefully she really *is* working on it. thanks for this link. pretty amazing.

i'm always in awe of people who can write about themselves from such a naked and honest place. i can't do that.

which is, i guess, why i primarily write fiction.

I have been following up on the small things she's been dropping in what seems like anticipation of a new project. I would read her again in that vein, in a heartbeat.
