Lani, I missed the live play of this so am so glad that you were able to get the recording and put it up here.
Fantastic conversation! I like that Nancy read some parts of the book and then asked you to tell more. It was completely entertaining and informative to listen to.
I just got your book and am now inspired more than ever to start reading.
