Along the way, she met women from all walks of life―who were all struggling through the same upside-down world of corrections. There, in the Twilight Zone of New York’s jails and prisons, Keri grappled with the wreckage of her missteps and mistakes as she sobered up and searched for a better path. Her arrest made the front page of the local news and landed her behind bars for nearly two years. Then, on a cold day during her senior year, the police caught her walking down the street with a Tupperware full of heroin. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice.įor the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals. Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle. An electric and unforgettable memoir about a young woman's journey―from the ice rink, to addiction and a prison sentence, to the newsroom―and how she emerged with a fierce determination to expose the broken system she experienced.
