Publisher Description

The Prisoner's Wife is a beautiful story about love that overcomes every obstacle and thrives against all odds.

“A powerful and provocative book—everyone should read it.” —Angela Y. Davis

“Romantic but realistic…told with a directness and honesty.” —Booklist, starred review

“Mesmerizing and disconcerting, offering insights into why caged birds sing.”—Kirkus Reviews

As a favor for a friend, a bright and talented young woman volunteered to read her poetry to a group of prisoners during a Black History Month program. It was an encounter that would alter her life forever, because it was there, in the prison, that she would meet Rashid, the man who was to become her friend, her confidant, her husband, her lover, her soul mate. At the time, Rashid was serving a sentence of twenty years to life for his part in a murder. The Prisoner's Wife is a testimony, for wives and mothers, friends and families. It's a tribute to anyone who has ever chosen, against the odds, to love.

Amazing!!!

I read this book many years ago and I've always thought this book would open minds about people in prisons... Excellent read

One of the greatest stories ever told...

It's romantic and passionate and life changing. I saw much of myself in both this book and "Daughter".
