The real-life Alex from Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black tells her own story in this memoir of crime, punishment, and her relationship with Piper.
When Cleary Wolters first saw a commercial for the TV show Orange is the New Black, she knew her life would never be the same. After a blur of words and images alluding to lesbian lovers, drug smuggling, and life behind bars, Cleary saw a character wearing her signature black-rimmed glasses. In that moment, she knew that her private past had been brought to light in the most public way imaginable.
Based on Piper Kerman’s sensational memoir, Orange is the New Black tells the story of a privileged white woman who spent thirteen months in prison for her involvement in an international drug-smuggling ring. On the show, Alex Vause is Piper’s antagonist/love interest who seduced her into a life of crime. Now, pseaking out for the first time, Cleary sets the record straight on the show, life in prison, and much more . . .
In Out of Orange, Cleary tells a brutally honest, emotional tale of the bold decisions and epic mistakes she made—and the struggle to keep them from defining the rest of her life.
