The Wrong Side of the Wall: An Age Gap Prison Love Story
Leslie Garcia
"I'm not going to send this. I want to say that first, before I write the rest of it..."
Vivienne Cole is a woman held together by routine and regret. She carries the weight of a life she accidentally destroyed — and she's been punishing herself for it ever since. She doesn't date. She doesn't dream. She just... functions.
Then a letter arrives from a man behind the wall.
Marcos Delgado is serving time for manslaughter — for protecting someone he loved. He's not looking for sympathy. He's not looking for salvation. But when he starts writing to Viv, something cracks open in both of them that neither one can close.
What begins as cautious words on paper becomes the most honest, intimate, and dangerous connection either of them has ever known.
She's never told anyone the truth about what she did.
He's never told anyone the truth about what he feels.
And now, letter by letter, they're telling each other everything.
But Marcos is behind a wall that won't move. And the world outside it doesn't believe men like him deserve women like her.
The Wrong Side of the Wall is a full-length contemporary romance novel told entirely through letters between a woman who has forgotten how to feel and an incarcerated man who remembers how to make her. With an age gap romance at its center, themes of forbidden love and redemption, and prose that will make you stop and reread entire pages — this is not a love story that plays it safe.
