Colleen Oakley (The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise) is on Radar!

The USA Today Bestselling author COLLEEN OAKLEY joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise! We loved this adventurous and witty novel! Eighty-four year old Louise tells twenty-one year old Tanner, “enjoy your life of following the rules, my dear.” And that sets the tone for this wild road trip of a story. And what reader cannot relate to that statement?! Isn't there a small part of us that wants to throw caution to the wind and embrace the unpredictable? We talked about the relationship between parents and their adult children... are parents of adult children entitled to privacy? Why is it so hard for children, even adult ones, to believe that their parents had a full life before they arrived? Don't they know that their parents may have interests, experiences, or abilities they know nothing about? What happens when life throws obstacles and roadblocks in our pathway? Do we crawl into a corner and stay there forever? Or do we re-invent ourselves, regroup, and try something new? We talked about aging ... and how the concerns of the young and the aged are more similar than we might imagine. Colleen's character says "getting old is one series of indignities after another." Do you agree? What a heartwarming discussion - join us! You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast! We're also on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube!
