A Notable Memoir by the New York Times Medium's Books to Help You
Transition Into 2020 With echoes of Just Mercy and An American
Marriage, a remarkable memoir of a woman who falls in love with an
incarcerated man-a poignant story of hope and disappointment that
lays bare the toll prison takes not only on those behind bars, but
on their families and relationships. Ebony's parents were high
school sweethearts and married young. By the time Ebony was born,
the marriage was disintegrating. As a little girl she witnessed her
parents' brutal verbal and physical fights, fueled by her father's
alcoholism. Then her father tried to kill her mother. Those
experiences drastically affected the way Ebony viewed love and set
the pattern for her future romantic relationships. Despite being an
educated and strong-minded woman determined not to repeat the
mistakes of her parents-she would have a fairytale love-Ebony found
herself drawn to bad-boys: men who cheated; men who verbally abused
her; men who disappointed her. Fed up, she swore to wait for the
partner God chose for her. Then she met Shaka Senghor. Though she
felt an intense spiritual connection, Ebony struggled with the idea
that this man behind bars for murder could be the good love God had
for her. Through letters and visits, she and Shaka fell deeply in
love. Once Shaka came home, Ebony thought the worst was behind
them. But Shaka's release was the beginning of the end. The Love
Prison Made and Unmade is heartfelt. It reveals powerful lessons
about love, sacrifice, courage, and forgiveness; of living your
highest principles and learning not to judge someone by their worst
acts. Ultimately, it is a stark reminder of the emotional cost of
American justice on human lives-the partners, wives, children, and
friends-beyond the prison walls.
