55 - Small State, Big Stories

Host Dave is joined by local authors Diane Josefowicz and Carla Panciera to talk about their latest books, their families' journeys to Rhode Island, and how the Ocean State has informed their writing. In the Last Chapter they discuss: how do you organize your home bookshelves?
