The Picked Lock: Everything That Couldn't Be Said and Everything That Finally Was
Some stories take decades to tell.
This one took a picked lock to get there.
The Picked Lock is a memoir excavated from the source material most writers don't have access to: their own words, written in real time. Drawing on data-mined journals kept between ages 15 and 38, Laura DuBois tells her story the way it actually unfolded, with only the occasional glance forward, the kind that could only come from someone who's now lived through it.
This book is a personal story about how the rules and beliefs you absorb before you're old enough to question them continue to run the show well into adulthood, and the slow, complicated work of finally being able to see it.
