Description
The real-life Alex Vause from the critically acclaimed, top-rated Netflix show Orange Is the New Black tells her story in her own words for the first time - a powerful, surprising memoir about crime and punishment, friendship and marriage, and a life caught in the ruinous drug trade and beyond.
Fans nationwide have fallen in love with Orange Is the New Black, the critically acclaimed and wildly popular Netflix show based on Piper Kerman's sensational number-one New York Times best seller. Now, Catherine Cleary Wolters - the inspiration for Alex Vause, 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, and answer common fan questions.
An insightful, frustrating, heartbreaking, and uplifting analysis of crime and punishment in our times, Out of Orange is an intimate look at international drug crime - a seemingly glamorous lifestyle that dazzles unsuspecting young women and eventually leads them to the seedy world of prison. 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 Wolters' time in the drug trade, her incarceration, her friendships and acquaintances with odd cellmates, her two marriages, and her complicated relationship with Piper. But Wolters is not solely defined by her past; she also reflects on her life and the person she is today.
Filled with colorful characters; fascinating tales; painful, sobering lessons; and hard-earned wisdom, Out of Orange is sure to be provocative, entertaining, and ultimately inspiring.

Not a fan of the literary style.
I have watched the Netflix series out of Orange. I wanted to read about the real life Alex, Clearly Wolters. It is confusing because at some point you are told it is a story and not a confession, but it is written like a memoir.
What was difficult to listen to was the I,I, I …..or my, my, my, etc. it was so self centred it was difficult to listen to.
It sounded as you were listening to someone who was self centred and simple minded because of her choices. What I mean is that Cleary made bad choices almost all the time but on the other hand wrote the story with arrogance like she was a geniuses?
The contrition at the end seemed way to late and and seemed to be an after thought for her life
What I liked about both stories was the learning of the real life hardships that that many of these women go through and how easy it is that in one moment life can be insurmountably harder and the amount of work that it would require to repair. Both stories have made me thankful for how lucky I am and how even when you run into someone in hard times in the street, that you do not know how hard there story is.
In the end it seems that this memoir was written by a real life person who “chose” to live life harder than she needed to and told her story about it, her way!
All the best to you Cleary!!! It is almost another 10 years later and hopefully 10 years better.
