Hi friends,
Thank you for joining me here. My name is Ruby, and I’m a mom navigating life with my son behind bars. This blog is my way of sharing our story—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Several years ago I wrote about my experiences on a blog. It became a place of healing, connection, and learning. Life happened, and I stepped away for a bit, but I’ve always felt the pull to come back and keep sharing. Now, I’m bringing my words to Substack, where I can continue to share and connect with an even wider community.

Here, you’ll find stories about:

• How he got there, how we got here, and how life continues.

• My journey as a mom, balancing hope, heartbreak, and resilience.

• Resources and insights for families with incarcerated loved ones.

This space is not just about us—it’s for anyone seeking understanding, solidarity, and even a little inspiration.
