Confessions of a Corrections Nurse 3: Only the Truth Shall Prevail

by Tamika Woodard

Jasmine Wainwright had already paid for her choices with her freedom, her nursing career, her reputation, and the first precious years of her daughter’s life. But after Van Highland, Leo Layton, and Terrence Shaw started pulling at the loose threads in her case, the truth refused to stay buried.

Jasmine’s appeal is granted. Her case is reopened. And with it, another case rises from the the unsolved murder of NYPD Detective Renley Shaw.

As old testimony cracks, new witnesses surface, and the Brantley family’s empire begins to shake, Jasmine, Terrence, and Taryn are forced to decide what family can look like after betrayal, punishment, and truth. Ryann Brantley fights to protect the one name she refuses to give up. Pistol Pete keeps moving like the streets still belong to him. Rhonda Brantley learns that karma does not always knock before entering.

And somewhere between prison visits, courtrooms, home care, grief, justice, and forgiveness, Jasmine has to find out whether freedom is only about walking out of prison — or whether it is about finally walking into the life she was supposed to have all along.
