Description
When my son got locked up November 2013 it was an experience most of you can relate to so well. For 2 years while he was in county jail waiting for his sentence I was in total shock. The idea of my son doing life in prison was a huge blur to me. I tried to find the words of how I felt and I couldn't fit the description with anything other than words like: helpless, broken, shocked, numb, heart broke, pain, my heart literally felt as if it had physically been ripped from my chest. Like when you get a really bad cut and nothing will sooth it, my heart was cut, not in two, not even in three, it was shattered in a million pieces fragmented into something that could never be the same. Never feel the same, never live the same, life would never be as it was. I had to learn as a mother, wife, and loved one to so many others that I had no other choice but to pick up the pieces that have been broken and put them back together one by one. This book will tell stories of mothers that have fought hard to keep going after their child was incarcerated, it will also help others to understand more about the journey we live as mothers of incarcerated sons.
