Summary

I was an ordinary mom of five with big dreams of raising my children in the light of God’s love. When a devastating family tragedy unfolded, I found myself falsely accused of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison. In those first agonizing days—filled with shock, loneliness, and the crushing weight of injustice—I wondered if God had abandoned me. But through the unforgiving conditions of county jail and maximum-security confinement, I clung to my faith. I remember writing a letter of forgiveness to one of my accusers—a moment that transformed my heart and helped me see that even in the darkest circumstances, God’s love can heal and restore. My journey from being condemned to experiencing the redemptive power of His promise has given me new purpose. Today, I use my testimony to lead Bible studies in prison and work with other incarcerated women, proving that when we trust in God, no trial is too severe and no injustice goes unnoticed.
