Living Louder

A Compassionate Journey Through Federal Prison

By: Portia Louder

Narrated by: Portia Louder

Living Louder is a remarkable memoir of redemption and resilience.

A deeply moving account of compassion, faith, and enduring friendships discovered in federal prison. The author weaves a fascinating biographical tale as she opens our eyes and hearts to the real challenges and struggles that people in prison face. A story told with the passion and insight of one who lived it!

This book offers us stories that make us laugh, cry, pray, and most importantly, invite us to see the world from a different perspective. It has the potential to uplift the soul and reveal how bright life can be when filled with real compassion and truth.

How do you fight despair and learn to meet the world with a loving heart? How do you stay faithful in spite of failure? No matter where people live or what their circumstances may be, everyone needs hope. Portia spent 4.5 years of her life locked up in federal prison, and she was transformed. Hers is a story of the hope and kindness that we all seek.

Portia Louder is a gifted storyteller with an indomitable spirit and energy. She grew up with parents whose nonconformity was both a curse and a blessing. Portia gained a fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms. What is so astonishing about her story, is not so much that she found the guts and tenacity to climb out of some seemingly impossible situations, but that she describes those situations with deep affection. She gives us a story of triumph against the odds, but also a tender and moving tale of unconditional love and understanding encountered while she was locked away. Portia could be you, or your daughter, your mother or wife. She loves the sun and lives in Highland, Utah with her husband Chad and their children and grandchildren.

Full of uplifting and inspiring stories pointing you to Christ at hard times in your life.

A beautiful story of growth and redemption.

I loved the whole story. Portia’s family must be so proud of her. Best wishes always.

The book is full of raw honesty.

I loved this book. When I first started listening, I kept thinking how horrible that this poor woman was made a scape goat by the banks and the government. But by the end of this beautiful story about acceptance, and forgiveness, I have come full circle no longer seeing her as a victim but a thriver. Beautifully done Portia.
