In this episode, Trevor visits with Leslie J. Anderson, author of The Unmothers, which released from Quirk Books in August 2024. They talk about the book's major themes and ideas, including a dive into its anger and anxiety over issues pertaining to small towns, closed secrets, pregnancy, and parenthood. They also talk about the importance of demystifying the secrets everyone keeps surrounding birth and death, about building community and fighting back against the oppressive forces that continue to take away our rights, and a lot more.
