Endorsement:

So glad to see this book come to print. As a Pastor with Victory Christian Church, heading up the jail ministry. I have known Michelle and John for 10 years. This book will touch many lives. I witnessed this 1st hand, when Michelle told her side of their story of raising her children while her husband was incarcerated. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, at Albany County Jail, including mine.─Pastor Marty Stanton
