Publisher's Synopsis
This unique and moving dual memoir covers the lives of two people... from opposite ends of life's spectrum. Sarah Cathrin Miller and Jimmy Lee Jackson seem fated to be together for their entire lives, but they are very different people. Jimmy is in and out of prison and can't seem to hold a decent job for very long. Sarah is struggling to support her family and has been unlucky in love. Against all odds these two star-crossed soulmates forge a relationship, by turns affectionate and volatile. Their often hardscrabble existence is, at times, seemingly unendurable. Sarah's faith sustains her most of the time, but how many times must Jimmy pay the price of his lawbreaking before he sees the light? Just when all seems lost Jimmy's encounter with Christ behind prison walls is the catalyst for a prisoner-led church at Eastham Prison in Texas. Here is a heartfelt, passionate, and unusually frank remembrance of Sarah and Jimmy Jackson. An eloquent reminder to all readers of the importance of love and religious faith, it is also a must read for anyone interested in street and prison ministry.
