Today's spoiler-free minisode includes a conversation between Kaytee and author Yara Zgheib. Yara is the author of No Land to Light On, a heartbreaking and heart-mending love story of immigration and parenthood and leaving your heart across the ocean. This book was an Indie Press List pick for March from An Unlikely Story. Tune into my conversation with Yara to hear about:

• Writing as therapy

• Turning real world events into novel

• The humanity in every story

• Her personal connections to this story

• Travel and privilege

• How Ph.D.s are so useful

• Her favorite characters

• And of course: a book she wants to press into your hands.
