NARROWSBURG, NY (December 6, 2012) – If your husband was arrested right after you were married, would you have what it takes to stick it out?

Leslie Rutkin and her husband Matthew did. On the fourth day of their honeymoon, Rutkin’s husband, a police officer, was indicted on charges of grand larceny and went to prison for 366 days.

She has chosen to tell their story in her new book “Counting the Days: 366 Days in Prison.”

Based on over 650 letters, notes and cards sent between the couple, the book is the true story of their journey to stay together through seemingly impossible circumstances.

Rutkin, a part time resident of Barryville, will be signing her books at the Delaware Arts Center’s Signature Gift Shop, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg, NY, on Sunday, December 16 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
