S5 E24 Linda Chown's Annie: How She Came to Be Jun 24, 2024

What a lovely conversation between Elizabeth and author Jack Donahue. His new novel Lost on Cherry Street is coming out later this June from Willow River Press, part of Between the Lines Publishing! Jack gets into some real detail about his research and backstory behind this book, and treats us to three readings from it as well. As usual, the conversation wanders into really interesting and diverse territory. Grab a snack and a beverage and settle into this one!
