Sentenced to life in prison, Henderson faced the untenable: leaving her young children as she entered the brutal prison system. Even as she faced violence, mistreatment, Henderson persevered with hope and determination. She never lost sight of her innocence--or her deeply held role as a mother. She also gained new purpose, fighting for her clemency and for the rights of incarcerated women, especially mothers. As the years passed, Henderson experienced hope through serendipitous events and calls, letters, and too infrequent visits with her children and other family. With the support of the prosecutor who once sought her conviction and the Missouri governor, Henderson was granted clemency and received a full pardon after nearly thirty-five years behind bars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen the Light Finds Us\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping narrative that explores the depths of human resilience and the transformative power of hope.

In a world often filled with darkness, Judy Henderson's journey is a beacon of light, illuminating the path to redemption and the triumph of justice. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudy Henderson \u003c\/b\u003ewas a young, middle-class, divorced mother of two who was busy growing her own business when her life was turned upside down.
