Elizabeth Gilbert calls Orange Is the New Black, Piper Kerman’s memoir about her year serving time in a women's prison, “a beautifully told story about how incredible women can be, and I will never forget it.” Whitney Joiner talks to Kerman about her time in prison, why more than 7 million Americans can directly relate to her story, and how a first-time writer penned what could be the most-talked about debut of the year. Plus: Kathy Ritchie, creator of the blog, “My Demented Mom,” interviews Jeannette Montgomery-Barron, author of My Mother’s Clothes—a powerful story told using words and images about her own mother's battle with dementia.
