Summary, etc In this book, Ronda Bungay presents the stories of four women convicted of murder. The author spent time at Arohata Women's Prison, interviewing the women about their lives, the circumstances surrounding the murders they committed, and the murders themselves. The book includes a number of the author's own journal entries, recorded during this time, which help to portray the women's stories. Poetry and prose from the women themselves is also included, and writing from a number of professionals who have become involved with some of the women is presented. In the book, the author searches for the connection between the crimes the women commit and the context of their lives. Prominent themes discussed in the book include intimate partner abuse, loss and grief for the women and their families, community responsibility, restorative justice, justice, mental health, and suicide. Questions are posed about the need for restorative justice for women in prisons. There is a discussion on battered women's syndrome, the perspectives of the law, Courts and professionals. The significance of community responsibility in these women's lives, prior to the crimes being committed and after, is also emphasised.
