1) Lauren Kessler is an established author whose books have been BookSense selections , Washington Post and Los Angeles Times bestsellers, Wall Street Journal and People magazine best selections, Pacific Northwest Book Award winners, and Oregon Book Award winners. 2) Kessler is a talented investigative reporter with a successful track record of tackling tough topics while telling a compelling story. 3) The book has a compelling angle: this is an emotional look at prisoners who were imprisoned as teenagers. It reveals the daily lives, thoughts, fears, hopes of men who committed murder and struggle with what that means, while tackling some tough questions about incarceration: Are people capable of change? How much punishment is enough? Is any punishment enough when someone takes the life of another? Is it possible to forgive? Can learning how to tell your own story help you understand your life, process what you have not yet processed, empower you to make change? 4) Since the 1970, our rate of incarceration has more than quadrupled, and the prison population continues to explode. This book will have strong ties ins with current events, as there are frequently stories about over-capacity prisons and those run by for-profit institutions, scandals relating to prisoner conditions and escapes. Author will write op-eds to tie in to current media studies. About the title: A grip of time is prison slang for a very long sentence behind bars
