The New England Innocence Project and the Medford Library are teaming up to honor the mothers who have supported, loved, and struggled for their dear sons and daughters behind bars. All are welcome to attend this event, inspired by Jean Trounstine’s new book Motherlove, which includes 10 short stories, each about a mother coping with the aftermath of her teen killing another teen. We will have a great panel, desserts and thoughtful discussion. Donations made at the event will support the work of the New England Innocence Project, helping wrongfully convicted people find freedom and come home to their loved ones.

After the event donations to support NEIP will be accepted; all donations to NEIP will be matched through their June match program.
