Against all odds is a collection of heartfelt letters penned by an inmate to an older woman who worked in the education department of a prison. The two defied the odds and found love within the confines of the prison walls, ultimately leading to their marriage. The letters capture the inmate's experiences of living behind bars - the abuse he endured as a child, the rampant drug abuse, and the despair of imprisonment. Through his letters, the reader witnesses the growth of his deep affection for his girlfriend. The letters also peel back the curtains of prison life to reveal the harsh realities that take place behind closed doors. Their love was forbidden, they knew it was against the law, but their hearts could not be confined. This is a poignant tale of two parallel worlds colliding - of love, hope, and heartbreak in one of the largest prisons in Britain.
