In today’s episode, I am chatting with Sara Brunvsold. Sara is Christy Award-winning author of The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip and The Divine Proverb of Streusel. She creates stories that boldly engage contemporary issues through the lens of hope and unshakable faith. Her passion is to connect with readers first through books, then through meaningful conversation. Today we are hear to discuss her latest novel, The Atlas of Untold Stories. What a joy it was to have her back on the show, you can listen to her previously on Ep. 61! Sara’s books are truly food for the soul, and today’s conversation is no exception.


Episode Highlights:

  • The inspiration behind The Atlas of Untold Stories and the real-life road trip possibilities.
  • Why she gravitates toward writing older characters.
  • How growing up in an intergenerational household shaped her storytelling.
  • Her love for author events and connecting with readers in real life.
  • Her thoughtfully curated book flight for this episode:
