Kirsten and Scott--a husband and wife that are separated by jailhouse walls, as he is incarcerated despite his innocence. He is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. As a family of 4, and then 5, as the story unfolds, Scott and Kirsten knew the "good life." But God had a better one in store. They first had to be broken. They plumb new depths of their faith and in their knowledge of the Word in these days that some would consider dark, but that God infused with great joy. Throughout a total of 16 months of separation they wrote letters to each other that are filled with the stories that capture the depth of their love, family life, fear, questioning, and details of what God is doing in, around and through them. Many of the letters are laced with snaphots of jailhouse interactions in the maximum security unit where God still dwells. It is inspiring to see how the Holy Spirit moves throughout the whole situation when you see Scott’s letter next to Kirsten’s as the days go by. Prayers are being prayed and answered and it is all recorded in the daily wrap-up. It is a God story. It is a love story. And the letters are delivered daily. Make sure you

Good Morning Sweet Girl,
It’s early, everyone is still asleep. I served chow this morning and came back in to get some sleep, but could only sleep for a little while. Remember how when we would go somewhere, probably date nights or something like that, and your parents would watch Kayti for the evening at their house in Point Loma? We would come back to pick her up and she would be so sleepy when we woke her up to put her in the car. She would just lay her cute little head on our shoulder and melt into out arms. She would have her pajamas on and look adorable. I could just hold her, cuddles up and head on my shoulder, forever.
I love you guys and miss you so much. I will be back home soon and when I get there I am not going to take one look, kiss, embrace, snuggle, peck, touch, hand-hold, back scratch, smile, bath, diaper change for granted.
I love you and miss you dearly Mrs., Mr.
