In this first installment of my two-part series, follow the tumultuous journey of this black woman who grew up in the hood in Harlem and whose life is forever changed when my partner is sentenced to a lengthy prison term. As I deal with the harsh reality of his incarceration, I had to decide if I was gonna move on with my life or stand by his side. Choosing loyalty, and as I begin to visit the prisons I found support in a community of women visiting also. I found friendships in a few that lasted for a long time. Through raw and vivid storytelling, twists, and turns, my compelling narrative is filled with the challenges and difficulties of this situation. A lot of things happened in my life while he was incarcerated, too. Because I didn't stop living my life while I was waiting. I had to go through my own trials and tribulations and there were many things that I had to deal with alone.
I created a few versions of part 1 because I always felt like things were missing that I needed to share with women like me. I wanted them to have it all and finally, this time I think I've done what I set out to do years ago.

In Part 2, he finally gets the green light on his release and we step into freedom together, happy and relieved to close that chapter. But soon we find out that there are major challenges on this side of the prison wall, too. The things that happened and the things that I expected was so completely different. Because, truthfully, you can't keep a man inside a cage and don't think it's going to really change him. Still, I felt blindsided. And I must admit that I was devastated and I found myself in a darkness that was so hard to get out of, causing outbursts of anger, moments of violence and overwhelming feelings of depression that took me over the edge, Then I found myself inside a mental ward for observation. Eventually it was a friend who happened to also be a psychologist that told me to write about it because there is so much people don't know that happens when men return from prison.
I want this book, Part 2 to be a beacon of insight and guidance as I share the raw truth of life after incarceration that delves much deeper than any reality show. Link:https://amzn.to/4hTONMM
