Secrets Of An Inmate's Wife
This is a good story and one that needs telling. Reading your story gave me some insight. For that I am grateful. I was just commenting on how well we knew the people in our lives.. . We don't. All of us carry baggage that no one else is aware of seems like. Yet we ignore other's burdens because we might have to carry them ourselves. (God forbid!) I know I have lived a horribly sheltered life for the most part. Oh sure, baggage, but nothing compared to what many carry with them every day. I live for the day when there won't be any African American writers, Caucasian writers, Laotian writers, women writers, men writers or ANY of the little pigeon hole categories we place ourselves and each other in. I live for the day when there is no Black Experience, White Experience, Gay/Lesbian Experience, but only shared life experiences. Yeah, I know, I envision a Utopia, but without our visions we have no future. So much for philosophical ramblings. Your story brought it out of me. A good story --Mike ThomasThis woman's story is definitely worth reading. I applaud her for who she has become as a result of everything she went through. --Rhonda Findling, Psychotherapist and author of Don't Call That ManJaki McCalvin's insight is genuine and realistic. This was really good non-fiction that reads like fiction with all the drama, emotion and conflict involved in real life. All in all this is a good firsthand account of a young woman's struggle to love a man in prison while everyone judged her decision to stand by her man. --The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
