There is a particular kind of love that grows in institutions — between two children who have no one, who decide they will be each other's family because nobody else volunteered.

That is what Dinasia Whitman and Tislam Parker had. Then a jury took it, and the State of New York gave Tislam thirty years to life for a murder committed by someone else.

No Other Love follows both of them across the years that follow: Tislam inside Green Haven, negotiating the impossible arithmetic of prison survival, and Dinasia outside, building a respectable life over a foundation she doesn't know is rotten. When a single piece of evidence surfaces, it forces the question the whole novel has been circling — how much are you willing to lose for someone who has already lost everything?

Unflinching about the systems that manufacture guilty men, and unsentimental about the people who profit from them, this is a novel about wrongful conviction written from the inside out by the Oscar-nominated storyteller behind Sing Sing.
