- **Event Name**: Sounds Like Trouble to Me: An Evening with Jean Trounstine
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Author Jean Trounstine who hails from Cincinnati will discuss her 8th book and first novel, Sounds Like Trouble to Me.

Based on two true stories, Trounstine'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 incarcerated women she meets change her, and in the end, she spurs on a MeToo movement behind bars.

6 pm reception/6:30 pm program
Free & open to the public. Registration required.

Copies of Sounds Like Trouble to Me will be available for sale & signing courtesy of Joseph-Beth Cincinnati.
