About this item
"I read everything Ivy Pochoda writes. Her capture of the complexities, diversities, and insanities of today's life and culture is next to none. I loved Sing Her Down. The world will too." - Michael Connelly, author of Desert Star. No Country for Old Men meets Killing Eve in this gritty, feminist Western thriller from the award-winning author of These Women.. Florence "Florida" Baum is not the hapless innocent she claims to be when she arrives at the Arizona women's prison - or so her ex-cellmate, Diosmary Sandoval, keeps insinuating.. Dios knows the truth about Florida's crimes, understands the truth that Florence hides even from herself: that she wasn't a victim of circumstance, an unlucky bystander misled by a bad man. Dios knows that darkness lives in women too, despite the world's refusal to see it.
