Well, I'm glad you think it's wonderful and unusual because it's made up.
It's part of the novel.
Oh, I thought that really happened.
I thought I'd read that happen.
No.
There was an amazing nun at my mom's prison.
And she did occasionally drive me to the prison.
And she did many heroic things.
When my mother was transferred when I was six to Tucson, Arizona...
She actually flew me to Arizona to help enable me to visit my mother because those visits were so hard for my grandparents.
And so there was a nun who played a profoundly healing role in connecting me and my mother and also connecting my mother and my grandparents.
But most of my rides to the prison after my grandfather died actually happened from the women in my mother's collective, both because they stepped in to help make sure we had that relationship and because it was a way that they could continue to see me.
Did they stay revolutionaries?
No.
I would say every member of my family remains committed to opposing how oppressive and unjust
our country are, and to imagining more just systems.
So yes, they have all remained political.
They all use their retirement to do organizing on behalf of collective movements.
My mother, too, has remained political.
She was an organizer before she went in, and she was an organizer when she was inside.
