This book tells the story of a woman who stood by a man who went to prison and all that she went
through as a result of her deciding to wait for him.  What makes this different from any previous book about this topic
is that she truly waited.  Some books start off with the same theme but the woman decides she
can't do the time with her man and eventually leaves.  That doesn't help the women who
truly want to wait and really need the encouragement and support.  It only tells them what they already know . . .
that people walk away.  That people can't handle this. 
For the woman who wants to stand by her man, this book is for her.  It will offer her
encouragement and hope.  It will give her strength when she feels that she doesn't have any.  It will 
offer her the support that she never got from her family and friends and from society who says,
walk away from the inmates, they are not worth it.  They don't understand that when you
truly love somebody walking away is extremely hard to do.  They don't understand that
love is not like a light switch that you can simply turn off and on.  What Jaki will give to you in 
this book is hope and so much more.  She will share with you all that she went through after her decision 
to wait.  The mental, emotional and spiritual changes that this decision repeatedly took her through.  Also,
the trials and tribulations when death and disease came into her own life because life didn't stop for her because her man
went to prison.  She had to keep living and surviving on the streets while wailting.  
But you can be sure about one thing - - her man did over fifteen years in prison and she never walked away.  And many of
the lessons she learned wasn't just about this topic, it was about what it took for her to become the woman
she needed to be, not just for him, not just to offer him hope and support, but the
woman she needed to be for herself.
