Jackson, Jr., that she would write him every day during his incarceration in prison while he served his thirty-month sentence. This book is an inspiring and moving selection of the letters she wrote him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTogether, they comprise a powerful act of love--nurturing and ministering to her son's heart, health, and mind and maintaining his essential connection with home. Frank, anecdotal, imbued with faith, and sometimes humorous, they offer intimate details from the family's daily life, along with news of friends and the community and glimpses of such figures as Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, and Mayor Marion Barry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey also touch eloquently on issues of social justice, politics, and history, as when Mrs. Jackson recalls growing up in Jim Crow Florida, and they reflect the qualities, instilled by her own mother, that made her a role model for much of her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUltimately, these letters offer a blueprint for why we have to support our families not just as they elevate but when they fall. This collection is Mrs. Jackson's contribution to healing during a time when our prisons are full and our communities are suffering. She provides the road map for ensuring that the individuals serving sentences understand that \u003ci\u003eprison is where they are, not who they are\u003c\/i\u003e and for helping them sustain the courage to keep hope alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951627478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264","brand":"Jacqueline L.
