What brought about the prison ministry?  Why would an author be doing prison ministry?

I have had a love for those in prison for a very long time.  I met and married my husband in prison and spent 18 years waiting for him to come home.  He was released in 1995 and we are still together and still in love.   I had no idea that I would ever go back to prisons.  I could not find a single church that would have me come and speak.  No one wanted to hear about sexual abuse in the church but the prisons were wide open.  I was hooked from the first time I spoke - it was like coming home again.  I love ministering to the women in prison and my background gives me instant credibility with them.
