Resumen del Editor
From a mother, role model, and civil rights veteran, an inspiring gift of love to a child in his darkest hour.
Jacqueline Jackson promised her son, Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., that she would write him every day during his incarceration in federal prison to serve his 30-month sentence. This book is an inspiring and moving selection of the letters she wrote him. Together, they comprise a powerful act of love - nurturing and ministering to her son's heart, health, and mind and maintaining his essential connection with home. Frank, anecdotal, imbued with faith, and sometimes humorous, they offer intimate details from the family’s daily life, along with news of friends and the community and glimpses of such figures as Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, and Mayor Marion Barry. They also touch eloquently on issues of social justice, politics, and history, as when Mrs. Jackson recalls growing up in Jim Crow Florida, and they reflect the qualities, instilled by her own mother, that made her a role model for much of her life.
Ultimately, these letters offer a blueprint for why we have to support our families not just as they elevate but when they fall. This collection is Mrs. Jackson's contribution to healing during a time when our prisons are full and our communities are suffering. She provides the road map for ensuring that the individuals serving sentences understand that prison is where they are, not who they are and for helping them sustain the courage to keep hope alive.

An intimate view of the true heart of a mother
The letters presented in this book provide a narrative for the burden and love that is unique to a woman who is in the midst of experiencing what must be one of her greatest fears ... a child who is ensnared in trouble beyond the realm of her control, no matter his age. Ms. Jackson infuses hope and unconditional love to her son, using conversations that enable him not to lose touch with the reality of a life on the outside that includes people who await to embrace him, along with a mother, who’s faith in God ... or her son ... never dissipates. Appreciated this compilation. I believe in this time, it will be encouraging to many who need it.
