Exploring the Complexities of Familial Estrangement

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 27

Estrangement can be an incredibly painful experience, or a healing one. A new collection of writing explores the complexities of familial estrangement. Editor Jenny Bartoy and contributing writer Hannah Bae discuss their new book, No Contact: Writers on Estrangement. Plus, listeners share their own experiences with estrangement. Bartoy and Bae will be speaking at an event at Liz's Book Bar on Tuesday April 28 at 6:30 pm.
