Summary

Adrienne Brodeur's memoir, Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me is absolutely outstanding and will surely be a best-seller. (The film rights have already been sold to Chernin Entertainment with the director attached!) Adrienne's life changed at age 14 when her mother confided something in her. The repercussions from that conversation affected the trajectory of the rest of her life, all her relationships and her sense of self. Listen to Adrienne talk about living through that period of time, her relationship with her mother, writing, parenting her own kids, and what loyalty really means.

Also, this episode I announced my partnership with Book of the Month Club! Enter code ZIBBY to get your first book for just $5 -- an exclusive offer!!!
