Book excerpt: What extreme lengths would you be willing to go through for the sake of a true love? What if you were a broken, and weighed down woman, feeling as if you were drowning within an abyss of emotional pain and darkness? Jelissa never thought that she'd find that pure unconditional love that she'd always prayed for within the arms of an incarcerated man just as broken as herself. But once the two crossed paths in the most controversial, and forbidden way, their journey becomes one that some can never understand. In the story; Love Worth The Wait: My Journey As A Prison Wife, Jelissa shares her journey as the wife of an incarcerated man in whom she was forbidden to fall in love with. Against all odds, and many near death experiences, it was their true love that gave them the tenacity to push forward to the unforeseeable end. “You don’t truly understand the definition of strong until you’ve had to fight to hold your marriage together through visits, limited phone calls, and letters. I am often judged by my decision to stand beside a man who is behind bars. Every night I look over at the empty space in the bed, I just know without a shadow of a doubt that my king is coming home. Patience is definitely a virtue, but I continue to hold him down. Every day is unpredictable, but he, our love is worth the wait!” -Jelissa
