Author Jean Trounstine will discuss her new novel, Sounds Like Trouble to Me, in conversation with Angelia Jefferson, a formerly incarcerated freedom fighter and now a participatory-defense transform-harm coordinator at Families for Justice as Healing.
Based on a true story, Jean's novel sheds light on what happens when a corrections officer kills her abusive husband and suddenly finds herself on the other side of the law. Not only is she shocked with the systematic abuse against fellow female prisoners, but confronted with the complicated history of her own abuse. The officer-turned-prisoner must struggle with her fragile memory to uncover what actually happened before she goes to trial. The women she meets behind bars changes her, and in the end, she spurs on a MeToo movement while imprisoned.
Jean Trounstine is the author of eight books, an activist and professor who directed the first Shakespeare play in prison and co-founded the women's branch of Changing Lives Through Literature. She received a Gramsci award in Italy for 30+ years of justice work in prisons.
