Anne Burt joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to talk about her novel The Dig! This beautiful novel touches upon something to which each and every one of us can relate: the psychological and emotional impact of family.

Is that how we make sense of our past? We talk about family secrets and the devastating impact those secrets can have upon intimacy and trust. We discussed trauma, and why two children in the same family can react differently to trauma as they grow. What happens when you don't deal with it in some way, shape, or form?

New York Times Bestselling author Kate White joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to talk about Between Two Strangers, her newest psychological thriller! We explored the impact of harboring long-held secrets. We talked about  trauma, and the guilt and shame that we may carry after a tragedy --- even when it's not our fault.  Can we really escape or forget or ignore our past? Or does it stay with us in subconscious, underlying ways that we might not even admit or recognize? Have you ever wrestled with the woulda, coulda, shouldas? Is it possible to heal from heavy guilt and shame? Is it always a long process? We talked a lot about people ... and how they're not always what they seem.  How do we uncover someone's true motives? We also discussed accountability.  Does our failure to own up to something negatively impact our health and overall wellbeing? Conversely, does taking accountability -- even with difficult consequences -- translate into peace in our soul? Is accountability is even more important in today's society, where reputations and careers can be destroyed in a moment? Wait until you hear our discussion about cancel culture and different levels of friendships. Join us for an incredibly relevant and interesting conversation! You'll be so glad you did!
