Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Each episode, I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along. It's like an

audiobook with built-in notes.

It's story time. Welcome back. All right, now we're getting somewhere, right? Now we're getting some information.

So we have lots to talk about today. I'm so glad that you're here. Thank you for coming along with me on this crazy wild ride and

support us and be able to chat together off the podcast with other people who are listening

and thinking about this book, too, is that you can become a member,

a story time for grown-ups member. We have a couple of different membership tiers, and it's all very
