b'\\u201cNo Time To Waste\\u201d.... Since May is the month of Mothers I thought it would be a wonderful way of introducing you to a remarkable Woman/Mother/Grandmother who is currently serving time in Prison.\\xa0 During a stormy night in February of 1984, Bill Prewitt was murdered in his bed and his wife Patty Prewitt was yanked from that bed and attacked.\\xa0 Due to shoddy rural police work and gender prejudice, Patty immediately became the only suspect.\\xa0 Although during the four-day jury trial she was offered a plea agreement that would have freed her over 20 years ago, she refused to plead guilty, was sentenced to \\u201cLife with No Parole for 50 Years\\u201d and was forced to leave her five young children who grew up, created families of their own, but have remained very close to their mother whom they love and know is innocent.\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nThis is such a remarkable story that includes a professional actress named Elizabeth Ann Townsend, who studied and worked onstage and screen in New York City for a couple of decades.\\xa0 Through\\xa0interesting\\xa0circumstances Elizabeth was handed a couple of Patty Prewitt\\u2019s poems and\\xa0astonished by the depth and reality of the writing one thing lead to another.\\xa0 Elizabeth is currently working on doing a play based on Patty\\u2019s remarkable life.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nJoin us for an interview with both of these women in our May blog talk radio show called \\u201cPure Hope Show\\u201d.\\xa0 As a mother and a grandmother myself I am amazed how these two women came together and are working to bring \\u201cLight to our World\\u201d.\\xa0 I am always amazed at how strong women are and so it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a remarkable story about strength, love, courage and beauty.\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nHappy Women\\u2019s Month to us all!'
