But home isn’t where you land; home is where you launch. You can’t pick your home any more than you can choose your family. In poker, you get five cards. Three of them you can swap out, but two are yours to keep: family and native land.
An examination of the strain which imprisonment puts on a marriage: after a black man is imprisoned for a rape he didn't commit, his marriage begins to fall apart. He is ultimately freed on account of prosecutorial misconduct but, by then, there's nothing left to salvage of his marriage. His wife is in another relationship and, to make matters worse, his mother is dead. The man she's now with is a mutual friend who had helped carry his mother's coffin at her burial.
