I could say Amy's work is unpretentious and brilliantly executed with real insight into so many personal moments and structured in enough of a chronological narrative to make it a page-turner. But what really struck me about her writing was her ability to surprise the reader almost every time with a misdirection or right-turn into a new conclusion or an unexpected summation. She also happens to be a great conversationalist and it was a real pleasure to discuss various aspects of her writing process, her warriorship and her evolution as a writer. If the episode is half as much fun to listen to as it was to record, you're really going to dig it.\r\n\n\nFollow Amy Sexauer here.\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/165fb0a0-29a7-433c-b029-9a3d098b69f5/untitled17-m9pccq.jpg"}
