I don't know anything about prisons, I don't have family in prison, but this book speaks to me so much. I recommend this book for anyone who has a family member in prison and I also recommend this book for anyone who's struggling in life. I have a lot of problems right now, I can't deal with them myself. There's time when I'm not sure God cares about me and this book comfort me in the time of my struggle with pain and suffering. Thank you Carol for writing this book. I'm sure it will help many as it has helped me.

Thank you, Netgalley for this book!
