Betsey was born into slavery around fifteen years after the Revolutionary War ended. It’s believed that her father was a slave owner. She was given to a couple who settled in Princeton, New Jersey. Undaunted by her circumstances, Betsey taught herself to read and, as a teenager, made a lasting commitment to Christ and was baptized. In her early twenties, she became the first single woman to be sent as a missionary to the Hawaiian Islands. She was also the first former slave of mixed blood to start a school. She is credited for the education of 8,000 Hawaiian commoners during her few years on Maui. When she returned to the U.S. via London, she became the most globally traveled black woman at that time. During the remainder of her life, she had a profound impact in furthering the education and spiritual condition of the black community in Princeton, New Jersey.

Gloria Chapman knows what it's like to have her whole world collapse on a global scale. On December 8, 1980, the world was shocked by the news that former Beatle, John Lennon, had been shot and killed. The man who pleaded guilty to the murder was Gloria's husband, Mark David Chapman.

Gloria and Mark had only been married eighteen months prior to this horrible crime. Remarkably, they have remained married during Mark's forty-four years of imprisonment. Gloria's statement, “I might be the only person in the world who will ever love this man,” might seem true. But what is obviously true is that God's love for both Gloria and Mark is lasting and real, and radiates through their story.
