Kerri Maher, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL

Kerri Maher joins Zibby to discuss her dramatic, thought-provoking, and inspiring new novel, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL, which draws inspiration from the real-life Jane Collective, the underground women’s health organization of the 70s that offered reproductive counseling and safe illegal abortions. The two talk about the complexities of women's health issues, historical authenticity, and marital relationships. Maher also describes her writing journey, from numerous unpublished manuscripts to finding her niche in historical fiction, stressing the value of a supportive writing community. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/49zYZXiShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
