Book Review

**Out of Orange: A Memoir**

**Catherine Wolters**  
**Catherine Cleary Wolters**—the inspiration for Alex Vause from **Orange Is the New Black** (*the TV show based on Piper Kerman’s sensational #1 bestseller*) tells her story in her own words for the first time in this book which is a powerful, surprising memoir about crime and punishment, friendship and marriage, and a life caught in the ruinous drug trade and beyond.

Told by a woman originally thrust into the spotlight without her permission—Wolters learned about Piper’s memoir in the media—*Out of Orange* chronicles Wolter’s time in the drug trade, her incarceration, her friendships and acquaintances with odd cellmates, her two marriages, and her complicated relationship with Piper..

Piper’s ex-girlfriend, friend, and sometimes-romantic partner on the show—tells her true story, offering details and insights that fill in the blanks, set the record straight, but Wolters is not solely defined by her past; she also reflects on her life and the person she is today.

Filled with colourful characters, fascinating tales, painful sobering lessons, and hard-earned wisdom.
