I'm Gail Strav and you're listening to She Explores. So yeah, there's things I have in common with Randy,

and I think that might be really disturbing

for people to hear because he stabbed

to Mo me 29 times.

You know, he's a violent criminal,

but part of what I tried to communicate in this book is, is we're all connected in ways and just because someone is a criminal, it doesn't mean that we may not have things in common with them because it's not that black author of the book Pure Land.

When she says she has something in common with a murderer, she's right.

And she also has something in common with a tourist from Japan,

as well as the American landscape.

I love the book because Annette doesn't hold anything back. At her core, she's a journalist.

She investigates her own story like she investigates that of the subjects in the book.

As a reader, I was entranced by how each person came alive through her diligent research,

resulting in a tribute to a curious woman named Tummy and a reunion with Annette's childhood self.

Please note that this episode contains discussion of childhood trauma,

which may be sensitive for some
