Loss, Grief and Friendship and Planned Parenthood Founder

Kathryn interviews Caron Levis MFA, award-winning author of "Ida, Always". Gus lives in a big park in the middle of an even bigger city, and he spends his days with Ida. Ida is right there. Always. Then one sad day, Gus learns that Ida is very sick, and she isn't going to get better. The friends help each other face the difficult news with whispers, sniffles, cuddles and even laughs. MSW candidate Levis is an Adjunct Professor in The New School's MFA Creative Writing for Children's program. Kathryn also interviews Guggenheim Fellow Ellen Feldman MA, author of "Terrible Virtue: A Novel". This author's latest provocative novel shares the story of one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century - Margaret Sanger. Feldman tells the story of the mother of birth control, the founder of Planned Parenthood and an American champion of women around the world—as she herself might have told it. Feldman is featured on NPR, Medium and in American Heritage.
