Welcome to Litsy!

When one of her sons is sentences to 55 years in prison, Demetria believed she lived the worst nightmare of her life. But it didn't end there. Years later, as Demetria was writing this book, she received a phone call from the Peoria County letting her know that her oldest son was arrested and facing serious charges. This news took Demetria by surprise and caused her world to spiral down a horrible dark road that appeared to be a dead end. With two children in prison, the future looked hopeless for both her and her children. However, she was determined that this was not the end. With her own experience as motivation, Demetria started a new ministry, Prison Mom--which is for prison inmates and their families as well as non-prisoners. Through this ministry, individuals have the chance to share the freedom and content of God's role in their lives with anyone who is willing to listen. This ministry, combined with her personal experience is the foundation for this book. Prison Mom, Demetria shares how she made hope-filled choices, even when her world turned upside down as she faced unthinkable circumstances. Through her story she shares how to have freedom and contentment in the midst of any circumstance. In this story of perseverance, Demetria shares how God carried her through and how he can do the same for anyone who is facing difficult circumstances.
