For men in the Union and Confederate armies and their families at home, letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task, but Christopher Hager shows how ordinary people made writing their own, and how they in turn transformed the culture of letters into a popular, democratic mode of communication.

It is time. It is time to free our voice. To speak is a revolution. For too long, through the most intimate acts of erasure, women have been silenced. Now, women everywhere are breaking through the limits placed on us by family, society, and tradition. To find our voices. To make space for ourselves in this world. Now is the moment to reclaim what was once lost, stolen, forsaken, or abandoned. I Am Yours is about my fight to protect and free my voice from those who have sought to silence me, for the sake of creating a world where all voices are welcome and respected. Because the voice, without intimacy, will atrophy. We're in this together. You are mine, and I am yours.

Journey with me through my life as I talk to God about my past, present, and future. You will see how beautiful life can be when God takes the lead. He's in constant communication with us, but it's up to us to listen, follow, and take action. In this letter, you will see Him speaking to me through scriptures and casual conversations. I had to give up everything to see that my Father was and is all I need. And even though this is the tale of my life, God's not done with me because the best is yet to come.
