A Prisoner, a Doctor, and a Widow

My Rating: 4/5 stars Review: This was an interesting book, with three very different female perspectives. There is Karen, who is on death row in a Texas prison. She is also dying of AIDS. Quite a different story than anything I've every read before. Then there is Celia, who's husband Karen murdered during her last killing spree. Her character and story is a little more of what I'm used to. Finally, there's Franny, a doctor having a hard time dealing with the death of a young cancer patient. Her uncle, the man who raised her from the age of six, after her parents were killed in a car crash, dies while working at the prison where Karen resides. This brings Franny into Karen's life, and eventually into Celia's as well. I enjoyed the short chapters, the different points of view, and the fast-paced storyline.
