When you get two working class writers together, you an expect some laughter at situations that aren't funny. And Brad and Author Elisheba Haqq didn't disappoint. Elisheba was born in India, but she was raised in Minnesota with an overbearing father and a step-mother who didn't much care for her or her siblings. After a career in nursing, she went back to school, earned her M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and now teaches writing at Rutgers University. Her first book, Mamaji: A Memoir, is out now!
