76. Interview With Debby Show, Author of "Paper Roses"

from Rogue Librarians · host Rogue Librarians

Join us for a fascinating and enlightening conversation with debut author Debby Show as she discusses her book, Paper Roses. The book explores Show’s real history and intimate truths as she grapples with the effects of generational trauma and with her experiences as the sister, and victim, of a rather infamous public figure. That said, this is not a book about her sister’s exploits; instead, it explores their mutual family history – through several viewpoints – and traces how trauma can leave a lasting legacy. The story has been fictionalized, but the emotions it evokes bear the weight of deeper truths.You can reach Debby Show at [email protected], or through her website at debbyshow.comSome of the books we mention on the podcast include: The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank BaumStone Soup, by Marcia BrownThe Nancy Drew Series, by Carolyn KeeneThe Bobbsey Twins Series, by Laura Lee HopeMaus I and Maus II, by Art Spiegelman (and here is a link to our episodes:Maus Part 1 (Why It’s Banned) and Maus Part 2 (Close Reading).

Windfall Rogue Dialogue Ever since the castle first appeared in the sky above the city of Windfall, its residents have been building upward. Now the city consists of towers where the wealthiest residents live at the top while the poor eke out a living on the ground. Our podcast follows Cas, Shaima, and Argus, three brothers who live with their Uncle Vern after being orphaned during the grounder rebellion twenty years earlier. They find themselves drifting apart as Argus, the youngest, falls hopelessly in love with the much-older Helina, a foreign merchant haunted by her past; Cas, the middle brother, works in secret for the local crime boss; and Shaima, the oldest, struggles to keep their uncle’s scrap shop from going under. When Cas’s best friend, Kendall, is offered a position with the Wolfpac, Windfall’s military cult that acts as the city’s police, Cas is forced to decide where his loyalties lie. Meanwhile, something sinister looms over the city itself, threatening the lives of all who live in Windfall Explicit
