What Should I Read Next?

Ep 157: The stories behind the stories we love to read


Listen Later

Today Anne chats with a reader who turned her family’s difficult story into a book that has brought joy and hope to countless readers.

Georgia Hunter got curious about her family history, and a few questions put to the right relatives uncovered something she didn’t expect—a sweeping multi-generational drama just begging to be written down. So, she did. That story became We Were the Lucky Ones, a historical fiction novel Anne discussed with Clara Breitenmoser in Ep 131, and at WSIRN Live! from The Novel Neighbor in Ep 76.
