In this episode, I’m joined by author Jessica Carmichael to discuss her debut novel, The Full Picture at the Bookmas Party. We talk about what inspired the story, her journey to publication, and why it was important for Ghana, especially Accra, to feel alive on the page.

Jessica shares insights into Robyn’s journey of love and self-discovery, her complicated relationship with her father, her mother's lasting presence, and the tension between choosing the heart and the “safe” path.

We also explore the symbolism of photography and what Jessica hopes readers will take away when they close the book.

A thoughtful conversation about identity, choice, and learning to see the full picture
