Sara Trevelyan was independent, clever, and privileged. She was a qualified doctor who campaigned for penal reform. She feel in love with and in 1980 married Jimmy Boyle, a convicted murderer who had become a famous writer and sculptor. For the first four years of their marriage he was in jail, visits were few and their life lived under the scrutiny of the media. In this intimate memoir, we learn why Jimmy admits, 'If it hadn't been for Sara's courage, I would still be in prison.' She is a sure-footed guide through the extraordinary life they were called to lead. Her description of their eventual divorce is without bitterness or resentment, rather a tale of forgiveness and compassion.
