It was such a joy to be in thoughtful conversation with Kerri Miller for Big Books and Bold Ideas. We talked abt womanhood and inherited stories. We talked of love and family.

I won't be able to go to this performance but I wish I could...free and open to the public, Literature to Life's adaptation of THE LATEHOMECOMER coming to MN.
