Her marriage to Dean had failed, and they had divorced. He was incarcerated and serving a sixteen-year sentence.

Through the years, she had tossed the letters in a box without reading them--letters about how he had found Christ, letters about how he learned what it meant to love, letters about wanting his family, letters about God's grace. She read through each letter, tears running down her face. She prayed, "Lord, if you want me to return to my marriage, you are going to have to give me love for my husband." She had endured rejection, infidelity, fear, and abandonment. Dean's choices had wounded her deeply. Only through God would she be able to forgive and love again. Dean still had several more years on his sentence. To return to her marriage would mean that she would become a prisoner's wife.

Christ and the Prisoner's Wife is a life-changing story of God's power to save a husband, a marriage, and restore a family.
