Review Kirkus Reviews: Karen Campbell is an exceptional writer, offering concise and spirited details. Falling is an understated but engrossing tale of a woman's imprisonment. - Kirkus Reviews Falling is Orange is the New Black on steroids-terrifying and heartbreaking-funny and humanizing. - Kate Hopper, Author of Ready for Air and Use Your Words This book is a journey through a life most of us will never see, but we need to experience to know what tough really is. - Jack Horner, Former Policy Analyst, Kennedy Administration. This book is heartbreaking but with a route to redemption through love and willpower. - John Haines, Executive Director Community Investment Trust, Mercy Corps, author of Never Leaving Laramie. Falling presents a compelling and visceral account of self-rediscovery that pulls the reader through an experience few can imagine, yet makes us feel like it could happen to each of us.. Campbell confronts her own privilege while becoming aware that developing the humility to forgive oneself can be a life-long task. - Owen M. Hawkins, Master's Degree in Public Policy with a focus on Mass Incarceration and Prison Reform. Karen Campbell is a natural storyteller. Her writing takes you along with her - it drew me into every word. As I read Falling, I was drawn into every conversation and fight. I could taste the horrible food. I heard the cell doors open, close - open, close Sadly, I loved Tom, who could not love him? And knowing he was on a downward slide, taking you with him. The humiliation never before encountered, or even having read about - all happening. I was so elated to be walking out that door - into the fresh air, trees, still some anxiety inside as she wondered how it would be like - now on the outside. - Dorothy Zimmerman I just finished the book Falling. I was touched by it in so many ways. The author dove deep and it really paid off. Of course I loved all the stories from the inside. I could hear the doors slam, see the chapel and imagine each "character". But it was getting to know the author, her family, her friends and her life that meant so much. The ending showed so much emotional strength, honesty, heart and humility. It even inspired me to think through a few of my own life events and inquire how my actions might have impacted my loved ones in ways I had not been aware of. - Nancy Williams I cried my way through the book Falling. As her sister, I knew she decided to edit the details of prison life. She didn't want to scare us. Now it is revealed. The women's stories are fascinating, she humanized the women for us to see. We see he raw and uplifting emotions, all the way to the final pages. She owned her crime and was willing to make amends. There has got to be a better way for justice to be served. - Christine Baker A riveting memoir of a mother, daughter, sister, and felon, and widow- suddenly thrust into the American criminal justice system. - Terry Noxon The book Falling is a memoir of Karen Campbell's experience, incarcerated for a crime that many of us could have committed.
