Someone recently asked Sophie and I if we ever run out of things to talk about, the answer is no. When we originally sat down to do an interview for HTFA, we chatted for nearly three hours. So we kept this second half for this week, when Sophie's first novel, Filter This, comes out.

Sophie talks about her dad, Kevin Linehan, who died in 2017 after a long illness with alzheimer's. About when a loss takes place not in one moment, but over a number of years. Of what it is like to grieve for someone while they are still here. Sometimes when a person is gone, but also still infront of you, it is easier to make yourself forget what they were like, as it's too painful to remember. Soph talks about how she reconnected with her memories of her dad through meditation.
