Gail Piner is a retired academic who is finally pursuing the career she thought she’d have when she was twelve. She doesn’t recommend waiting as long as she did to pursue your dreams. Gail is interested in strong women, resilience, and the humor and hope that can help us get through difficult times. Her first novel, A High Courage, is about all those topics and is based on the best example she has known personally—her grandmother. Gail lives on the coast of North Carolina, where her main forms of exercise are dodging beach traffic, hurricanes, and alligators.

During this episode, you will hear Gail talk about:

• How she received a special pitcher from her grandmother, and how she discovered how old it was

• What led her to write her grandmother’s story in her novel, “A High Courage”

• The unique circumstances that her grandmother dealt with to save her family in the face of tragedy

• How her grandmother handled this question: What makes a good mother?
