Known by her “new” brothers as their “Palangi” sister, Paige Norton is an incredible advocate for those incarcerated in the prison in Salt Lake City. Though small in stature, she stands tall amongst the men and families she serves in her non-profit, Paige Norton Advocate. A little farm girl whose family has deep roots in her faith, Paige has found herself deep in a world she could never imagine and that she would never turn away from. Victor Hugo’s favorite motto was, Aimer c’est Agir. (to love is to act). That is Paige’s persona. Her’s is a compelling story of faith and love turned into action. Inspired to enter prison for the first time to visit a complete stranger, she and her husband Chris find themselves on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. You will love to listen to her emotional journey.
