All relationships face obstacles, but can romance really survive when there are prison bars between two people who love each other? What does it take to pledge your life to someone who may see out the rest of their life in prison? And what desperate measures would you take to be together at last?
Victoria Heywood looks beyond the headlines to explore the hearts and minds of men and women who love someone who has ended up in jail.
As well as some of Australia's most notorious cases, Love Behind Bars also looks at some ordinary Australians in extraordinary circumstances - from the Australian girlfriend of an American death row murderer to the Sydney trust fund heiress who spent two years in a Honduran prison with her drug trafficking lover.
This book also includes a chapter on famous murderers, and the women - and men - who fall for these killers.
