It is not everyday someone writes a prison memoir that is not a story of personal tragedy, corruption or personal redemption. BC Murray has written a facinanting account of the prison experience told from the perspective of a first (and only) time offender who previously was totally oblivious to this strange environment. Search for a silver lining emphasizes the hilarity and lunacy that exists and how a middle-aged, white, college-educated professional learns to make friends and adapt to his bizarre and dysfunctional new world.
