Death row is a place of darkness and despair, a place where the condemned await their execution. But what is it like to be a woman on death row? What are the stories of these women, and how did they come to be in this place? This book takes an intimate look at the lives of women on death row, exploring the complex factors that led them there and the stories of their crimes. These women come from all walks of life, and their stories are as varied as they are heartbreaking. Some were abused as children, some were victims of violence, and some were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. But all of them share one thing in common: they are now facing the death penalty.
