520    In 2014, novelist Leslie Schwartz was sentenced to 90 days
       in Los Angeles County Jail for a DUI and battery of an 
       officer. After more than a decade clean and sober, 
       Schwartz had a 414-day relapse into alcohol and drug 
       addiction. The damage she inflicted that year upon her 
       friends, her husband, her teenage daughter, and herself 
       was nearly impossible to fathom. Incarceration might have 
       ruined her altogether, if not for the stories that 
       sustained her while she was behind bars--both the artful 
       tales in the books she read while there, and, more 
       immediately, the stories of her fellow inmates. With 
       classics like Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome to contemporary 
       accounts like Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, Schwartz's 
       reading list is woven together with visceral recollections
       of both her daily humiliations and small triumphs within 
       the county jail system. Through the stories of others--
       whether rendered on the page or whispered in a jail cell--
       she learned powerful lessons about how to banish shame, 
       use guilt for good, level her grief, and find the lost joy
       and magic of her astonishing life. Told in vivid, 
       unforgettable prose, The Lost Chapters uncovers the nature
       of shame, rage, and love, and how instruments of change 
       and redemption come from the unlikeliest of places.
