A professor, an ex-con, and a journey toward forgiveness

Julian J. Torres, a 37-year-old, recently-paroled scholarship recipient, bursts into Professor Helen Payne's office - he has missed the first session of her contemporary literature course. He talks his way back into class, then challenges her to engage deeply with questions of guilt, remorse, and forgiveness. Funny, painful, and hopeful, The Assignment

Inspired by real conversations with perpetrators of gun violence and families of victims.
