Love Locked Down

She's behind bars-but her love is limitless.

In Love Locked Down, debut author Kendall Lewis delivers a raw, tender, and unforgettable story about one woman's fight to keep her love alive in a system built to crush it.

Amirah is serving five years at La Vista Women's Correctional Facility. Her husband, Kareem, is locked away in a different prison-twenty years into a sentence that shows no mercy. In a world where three-way calls are banned, sexual content is forbidden, and parole can separate soulmates, their relationship survives on whispers, tablet messages, and an unbreakable bond.

But love behind bars comes with a cost.

As Amirah navigates harassment by officers, the emotional minefield of same-sex relationships in prison, and the pain of parenting from a distance, she discovers that freedom isn't always physical. It's a decision. A rebellion. A promise.

Told with fearless honesty and emotional power, Love Locked Down is not just a prison love story-it's a story about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your right to feel deeply even in the darkest places.
