A few years later, when a friend asked her to participate in a bold new venture in a men's medium security prison, Ann had to weigh her curiosity and desire to be of service against her anxiety and fear.\u003cbr\u003e     But she signed on, and for eighteen months went to a remote building at Collins Bay, meeting a group of heavily tattooed book club members without the presence of guards or security cameras. There was no wine and cheese, no plush furnishings. But a book club on the inside proved to be a place to share ideas and regain a sense of humanity. \u003cbr\u003e     From \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Cellist of Sarajevo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutliers\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eInfidel\u003c\/i\u003e, the book discussions became a springboard for frank conversations about loss, anger, redemption, and loneliness.
