Debra Curtis on "The Laws of Love and Logic", radical forgiveness and publishing her first novel in her sixties

What does it mean to truly forgive—and how can we stay open in a world full of opposing beliefs? In this episode of Hey Booklovers, we sit down with Debra Curtis to talk about her debut novel "The Laws of Love and Logic" – and the deeply human questions at its core. We explore the central themes of her novel: sisterhood, religion, feminism, grief, and the tension between personal values and societal expectations. But our conversation goes far beyond the book. Together, we dive into bigger questions: – How do we navigate fundamentally different worldviews? – What does radical forgiveness really look like in real life? – And how can we remain open, even when it’s uncomfortable? Another highlight of this episode is Debra’s unconventional journey to becoming a writer later in life. She shares insights into her creative process – from decades of handwritten notebooks to recurring themes that shape her storytelling. Her approach to writing is intuitive, reflective, and deeply rooted in lived experience.
