Imagine being embedded in a pit of hopelessness, despair, and regret,
paralyzed by anger, bitterness and unforgiveness. That is where many women find
themselves when their children have been placed behind bars at the
mercy of ‘the powers that be’. Countless families have become
entangled in the criminal justice system unexpectedly, and against
their will despite their best efforts to raise their children the
right way. In this book, you will find one woman’s openness and
vulnerability as she shares insight about the harsh reality of what it
means to be a woman of color with a child in prison. Her testimony is
sure to break the stigma of silence and shame associated with this
sensitive topic, while bringing hope, and encouragement to those who
are still carrying unnecessary burdens associated with having loved
ones incarcerated. Your life is not over. The strength to move forward and live again.
