Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Older and Wilder with Joey and Claire. We're going to dive right in, which is my most hated phrase of the universe, but I say it because there's no other way to say let's dive right in. But we have guests today. Okay, remember when, this is probably two years ago, when I told the story about my friends getting arrested in the parking lot. This is one of my friends who was there that did not get arrested. Actually, no one got arrested, but she was there. My friend, Corrine Sharke, and her co-writer, is that what we're calling it? Your co-writer? Your co-creator. Co-authors. Sarah Carter is here. They have a book coming out that we wanted to talk about. So we're here to talk about the book. Welcome, Corrine and Sarah. We're so excited to have you here. That, Corrine, I've seen you on, like, Instagram and TikTok forever. And I just realized that that's who you know. You just realized that I'm the one who's been stalking you on TikTok.

It is a true story of speaking up, burning down, and the unbreakable bond of friendship.

So this has to do with religion, with sexual abuse, with some pretty big things.

So if that is not your vibe and listening to the show today, you can skip it.

But it is an inspiring story because they are being extremely brave,

talking about very scary things with very scary establishments.

Sarah Corrine, introduce yourselves.

Let's get this party started. So this book is what we affectionately like to call a literary event that is four to seven years in the making. We have been on this road for a really, really long time.

So this is actually really fun for us to get to come on to your show and have this conversation
