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.

Being involved with a man that is incarcerated takes a toll on a woman and her family. What was once a happy home has now been torn apart due to an ignorant decision made by her husband/significant other. This book is based on women who are going through the trials and tribulations of being married or involved with men in the prison system and how they remain strong when it comes to being faithful, keeping sane and making ends meet.

Shelia Bruno is known for giving voice to the psychological impact of incarceration, also known as Post-Incarceration Syndrome. In 2014, after being apart for thirty-eight years, Shelia became reacquainted with her high school sweetheart, Kevin Bruno, who was incarcerated for twenty-eight of those thirty-eight years. Fifty-three days after their reunion, they were married. In 2016, Kevin became barely recognizable, both in character and in behavior. With each passing day, his behavior worsened, leading Shelia to cry out to God, asking, "What is happening to my husband?" Her kind, caring, loving, affectionate husband was now sliding in and out of depression, easily irritated by seemingly insignificant incidents. Shelia's cry for help was heard by God, which led her to Google the question: Can a boy become a man in prison? Up popped two articles by Craig Haney and Terry Gorski, "The Psychological Impact of Incarceration" and "Post-Incarceration Syndrome and Relapse." This information is tremendously significant. However, in America today, society is not giving it the attention it deserves. Desperate for support to help her resolve the psychological disorders that had crept into her marriage, Shelia looked for support groups that dealt with the after-effects of incarceration. To her dismay, there weren't any. So, she created one: the Wife After Prison Support Group. Shelia has reached over 40,000 people in her quest to raise awareness of Post-Incarceration Syndrome. She has made it her mission to provide education about the devastating effects prison has on their loved ones. After a period of successful mental health treatment, Shelia and Kevin's marriage is now more robust than it's ever been. Shelia's transparency and determination have encouraged others to break through the unrealistic expectations they may have for themselves and for their loved ones who are being released after serving prison sentences. Working in prison ministry programs and as a volunteer in several prisons throughout Texas has taught Shelia to see people who are made in the image of God and not as prison inmates. Shelia has built relationships with currently incarcerated men and women and those who are about to be or have been recently released to help them successfully transition back into society.

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
