Patricia McConnel’s Sing Soft, Sing Loud had me captivated from the beginning to the end. The book is divided into two sections based on the two main characters, “Iva” and “Toni.” These two women’s stories drew me in. I found myself laughing aloud, tearing up in sadness and anger, and silently cheering them on. Although they are two totally different characters, they are very much the same, which is often the story of incarcerated women, regardless of what crime got them jailed.
