Summary

"One of the big messages of the book that I hope people allow in is: some hard conversations are hard because you're uncovering a truth that you're not quite ready to face." Journalist and host of the WNYC podcast Death, Sex & Money Anna Sale talks with Zibby about the hard conversations she had to have to write this book and how they feel different from the ones she's been having throughout her entire career.
