Sing Soft, Sing Loud

"A gritty, realistic look at life on the street and behind bars.... McConnel's insight into what prompts women to commit crimes, and to continue to commit them even after they've suffered through prison after prison, is unequaled. None of McConnel's prisoners are stereotypes. They are women with an awesome determination not to be destroyed.... They are real people, and they will change the way you think about felons."

Allan C. Kimball in The Houston Post

About Patricia McConnel

Patricia was jailed for the first time at the age of fifteen for the crime of being homeless. Later she did two years in the Federal Penitentiary for Women for running heroin across the Mexican border. Sing Soft, Sing Loud is based on those experiences, and altho parts of it are fictionalized, it is basically a memoir.

Patricia has won two Creative Writing Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts for the work that eventually became Sing Soft, Sing Loud. She also wrote one of the Ten Best PEN Short Stories of 1984, and in 1985 was invited to give a reading at the Library of Congress. Her short stories have appeared in eight anthologies.
