The opening of this volume introduces Wheaton’s profound call to prison ministry, sparked by her early experiences of loss and grief as an orphan. She shares pivotal moments that ignited her passion for helping those incarcerated, particularly her encounters with individuals behind bars that stirred her compassion and sense of purpose. Notably, she recounts her struggles with personal tragedies, the powerful comfort she found in her faith, and the divine mandate she felt to serve those whom society had largely abandoned.
