Summary

"In 1991, Sheila Isenbergs classic study Women Who Love Men Who Kill asked the provocative question, 'Why do women fall in love with convicted murderers?' Now, Isenberg returns to the same question in the age of smart phones, social media, mass shootings, and modern prison dating. The result is a compelling psychological study of prison passion in the new millennium. Isenberg conducts extensive interviews with women who seek relationships with convicted killers, as well as conversations with psychiatrists, social workers, and prison officials. She shows that many of these women know exactly what they are getting into yet they are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of a love without hope, promise, or consummation." --, Description provided by publisher
