It takes Goldsmith's heroine quite a bit of adversity and misfortune to find out what really matters in life. Rich and beautiful, spoiled and self-absorbed, Jennifer Spencer is on her way to prison, convicted of insider trading. Expecting her boyfriend to handle her appeal quickly and assure her release, Jennifer is rudely awakened by his betrayal, as well as by the harsh realities of life in a female correctional facility. The story is at once hilariously funny and sharply poignant. Goldsmith (The First Wives Club) alternates chapter viewpoints among various women serving their prison sentences, each of whom tells a wretched and woeful narrative. Goldsmith, known for somewhat outrageous plot lines, here allows Jennifer to hatch a dubious scheme for revenge. She manages to get a guard fired, help establish a host of prison reforms, and secure pardons for several of her fellow cellmates. The book is written with such oblivious good humor and spunk that it's hard to find fault with Goldsmith's taking serious social problems, including prison reform, sexual harassment, and white-collar crime, and wrapping them up in a neatly packaged fairy-tale ending.
