Trouble Nigro

Born in Miami in 1946, Trouble Nigro has lived enough lives to fill a bookshelf. She became a Navy wife at nineteen, a single mother at thirty-two, and raised three children across twelve states and two countries, reinventing herself more times than she can count. From swallowing nickels to surviving a devastating back injury, from flaming marshmallows to hard-earned laughter, she has a gift for turning chaos into comedy and missteps into meaning.

With a psychologist’s insight and a mischief-maker’s grin, Trouble writes the way she lives—boldly, honestly, and often with a punchline. Some stories are funny. Some are tender. Some are quiet. Some are reflective. Some are hard-earned. Her stories remind us that even when life gets messy, there’s always something to gain… and always another story to tell.

Because reading has never come easily to her, her stories are intentionally clear, direct, and easy to enjoy in one sitting. Trouble’s Tales celebrates resilience, humor, and the quiet courage it takes to keep getting back up.
