As Renee enters her late 30s, she craves books with older main characters. In this short segment, she shares four books that center the lives and stories of older women.
After a short message from our sponsor, Ashley speaks with Nic Stone about her novel, Chaos Theory. The conversation includes how class and power play a role in mental health, necessary conversations, and collaboration.
