From one of the greatest legal injustices of our time sprang one of the most unlikely-and unforgettable-love stories. For anyone who followed the case of the 'West Memphis Three', or read Damien Echols's memoir, Life After Death, there is one lingering question- Who was the woman-courageous, affected, or just plain crazy enough-to fall in love and marry him while he was on death row? Lorri Davis was a landscape architect living in New York City when she saw Paradise Lost, a documentary about the three young men imprisoned in Arkansas for an unspeakable crime they didn't commit. When her first letter arrived in Echols's cell in 1996, hers were some of the first kind words of support he had heard. Over the course of a remarkable sixteen-year correspondence, Echols and Davis grew to know each other, fall in love, and marry-all without ever being able to touch each other freely or be alone together. In Yours for Eternity, they describe also how they overcame the enormous challenges and heartbreaks throughout the years-personal setbacks, legal complications, and much more. Astoundingly, thousands of their personal letters have survived, to create a singular portrait of their marriage told in alternating voices by Echols and Davis both. Yours for Eternity reveals a relationship unfolding in the most exceptional of circumstances. Powerful, unique, and incredibly intimate, it is a modern-day love story for the ages.
