Fiction with a Mission | Author Susan Reinhardt

Susan Reinhardt's second novel, "The Beautiful Misfits," is a polemic against our system for treating those with drug addiction. The Burnsville author comes to the story through her own experience as a mother whose adult son seesawed between addiction and treatment. She talks with host Matt Peiken about her days as a journalist and humor columnist, her experiences of the addiction-to-treatment pipeline and her ideal alternative, as laid out in her novel.Support the showSupport The Overlook by joining our Patreon campaign!Advertise your event on The Overlook.Instagram: AVLoverlook | Facebook: AVLoverlook | Twitter: AVLoverlookListen and Subscribe: All episodes of The OverlookThe Overlook theme song, "Maker's Song," comes courtesy of the Asheville band The Resonant Rogues.Podcast Asheville © 2023
