Three ordinary women, from contrasting backgrounds, have one thing in common. The men they love are in prison.
The writer:
After leaving an acting/directing career that spanned decades, Trisha transitioned to writing stage plays. That led to writing fiction, children’s books, and poetry. She expanded her body of work to include six children’s books that started as children’s plays. In addition, she has written fourteen novels, ten of which are a series of true crime mysteries. Trisha has written a collection of 45 ten-minute plays for the classroom. She lives in the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia, with a silly, little rescued mutt named Petey (a Yorkie-mix) and our two cats, Fiona and Barcode. All were saved and adopted from the local animal shelter.

Alma, Kitty and Hattie have one thing in common. The men they love and married are in prison. This is an interesting and unique topic. Women who marry regular guys, have children, and work jobs. Then their
men make a bad decision that leads the women having to serve ‘hard time’ on the outside. Wives visit their men behind bars every day wondering how their lives brought them to this place.
The story focuses on three women. Alma is an exotic dancer who seems, at first glance, to be a bit of a nitwit. But on closer inspection she has street-smart wisdom and humor.
In a series of flash backs we explore the lives of these women before they began serving ‘hard time’; when they lived normal lives with their husbands and children. The plot explodes when Chelsea, Alma and Charlie’s daughter, disappears and Charlie takes the socialite hostage and threatens to kill her if he is not let out to find his daughter.
