Book Description
Conjugal Visit is the story of Desiree Hardy, an ordinary housewife of two kids that is at a crossroads in her marriage to her husband of twenty years, Desmond Hardy. She's about to embark on a journey of sexual evolution that will awaken passions that she never knew existed. The target audience for this book is most likely to be individuals, married or dating, who enjoy the works of authors such as Zane and ReShonda Tate Billingsley. I am a Houston-based first-time writer of fiction. Although I have been writing songs, poetry, and short stories since I was fourteen, I've never had the guts to get published until now. After twenty years in a demanding job, I decided to step out on fate and do what I love--writing! Thank you for considering my work. I look forward to hearing from you.

Doing Time Together
Author: Megan Comfort
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226114686
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
By quadrupling the number of people behind bars in two decades, the United States has become the world leader in incarceration. Much has been written on the men who make up the vast majority of the nation’s two million inmates. But what of the women they leave behind? Doing Time Together vividly details the ways that prisons shape and infiltrate the lives of women with husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends on the inside. Megan Comfort spent years getting to know women visiting men at San Quentin State Prison, observing how their romantic relationships drew them into contact with the penitentiary. Tangling with the prison’s intrusive scrutiny and rigid rules turns these women into “quasi-inmates,” eroding the boundary between home and prison and altering their sense of intimacy, love, and justice. Yet Comfort also finds that with social welfare weakened, prisons are the most powerful public institutions available to women struggling to overcome untreated social ills and sustain relationships with marginalized men. As a result, they express great ambivalence about the prison and the control it exerts over their daily lives. An illuminating analysis of women caught in the shadow of America’s massive prison system, Comfort’s book will be essential for anyone concerned with the consequences of our punitive culture.
