Good girl Miranda Munchak was naive and pregnant when she received the equivalence of a life sentence for three murders she didn't commit. She gave up her only child and struggled through her first ten years in prison, forming vital alliances but sacrificing her principles in order to survive. But when her decision to donate an organ to the child she had never known led to an unexpected opportunity to escape, her life "in the wind," as the authorities called it, became even more complicated. While on the lam, she met a fine new man and fell in love but couldn't share her dark past with him. Now he too could be arrested, for aiding and abetting a fugitive.
