Entry 3

It's very clear that Jennifer and Ronald have an odd relationship. Somehow they went from enemies to lifelong friends in a weird transition. Jennifer had wished that Ronald would die in prison and now they say "I love you" when they talk on the phone. They're so different in appearance-Jennifer is a tiny blonde and Ronald is a six foot four African American-that seeing them walk down the street together would make people take a second look. At the end of the book, Jennifer was invited to speak in Savannah, Georgia during a march to support Troy Davis, a man who had been wrongfully imprisoned and was sentenced to death. Jennifer's daughter and the entire Cotton family joined her. After the march, Jennifer said that she was glad she picked Ron, which to anyone else would sound so ridiculous and crazy, but he didn't take it the wrong way. This shows the power of forgiveness and the affect God had on Ron while he was in prison. Ron gave Jennifer another chance and from that chance, a beautiful and unusual friendship bloomed.
