Sneak peak video trailer for my new reported memoir, PAPER GIRL, out Oct. 7, about why we're so fractured, its personal and political implications--as well as an ode to all the paper girls and boys who once delivered and wrote fact-based news.

There’s so much I can relate to in this Fresh Air interview with Beth Macy. I grew up in a small town in Kentucky and have felt alienated from it in my adult life. Yet, is there a way to reconcile with it? We might know that soon.
