A prisoner’s wife wakes each day to losses and challenges from not having her husband home to share the simple things, the hard days, the celebrations, and the moments that life becomes with every morning. It is a unique grief. She is in many ways an everyday widow.

Hopeful Time brings light and hope into the dark season of a prison sentence for the wife left on the outside. It includes 365 devotions to encourage the wife's heart with God's all-consuming love and to guide her to a deeper familiarity-and hopefully-love of Scripture.
