Beck Dorey-Stein on Obsession, Soccer, and the Quick Kiss of Connection

This week, we're exploring connection and the beautiful, complicated web of relationships we build over a lifetime, with our July Reese's Book Club Author, Beck Dorey-Stein. Danielle and Beck dig into the author's own life and what caused her — after a wild ride as White House stenographer under President Obama — to upend everything and move across several states to the tundra of Maine. The convo also gets personal — for Danielle, too — when the pair talk about ambition, career, and the deep desire for a family. These themes all weave in and out of Beck's new book, Spectacular Things, which is about family, sisters, professional sports, and the question at the heart of it all: what would you give up for the person you love most?
