Ep. 86 Interview with Cate Touryan, author of Turning Toward Eden

Whether you're a fan of coming-of-age stories or not, you might want to listen in as Cate Touryan explains the cultural nuggets she took from her life to create her debut novel. A seemingly impossible juxtaposition of the Cold War, family dysfunction, and a sleepy California seaside town couple with the intriguing voice of a displaced girl with interesting friends (or are they mere acquaintances? Even enemies?) make this novel one you'll savor, and this conversation one that may need a warning since it may dredge up memories from your own past which could set you to laughing (or crying). Either way, we hope you'll join us for this episode and join in our conversation.
