    Summary: 
    In December 2008, Grunenwald graduated with her master's degree in library science, ready to start living her dream of becoming a librarian. But the economy had a different idea, and jobs were scarce. She was lucky enough to snag one of the few librarian gigs left in her home state of Ohio. The catch? The job was behind bars as the prison librarian at a men's minimum-security prison. It was out of her comfort zone, and Grunenwald was forced to adapt to the metal detectors, hulking security guards, and colorful inmates. As she came to see past the bleak surroundings and the orange jumpsuits and recognize the humanity of the men stuck behind bars, she discovered an inner strength that she never knew she had. -- adapted from jacket
