A ground breaking book that helps children cope with having an incarcerated parent and understand what happen and what they can do to help bring their family together.

There are over 5 million children who have a parent in prison and they often deal with a whole range of emotions from grief and anger, to thinking that some how it is their fault. They can hide their feelings and withdraw which can lead to deep hurt, isolation and future emotional issues. During this difficult situation, it is important to help the child understand that we all make mistakes, that their parent still loves them and that they can find creative ways to show love back.

There are over 2 million people behind bars, many that were incarcerated as children themselves at 15 or 16, many that were falsely accused and are innocent, and many that have been reformed long ago, but continue to remain locked up. The justice system is broken and we must show compassion, help where we can and always "Remember those in prison" Heb.13:3.
