In this episode, EmmyB and Jill Taylor try to emotionally resolve the novel "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara. This is an emotionally wrenching story filled with hope, love, friendship, and family, fighting unspeakable: physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, addiction, self harm, and social norms. It's fully loaded and will keep you thinking for a long time after. The protagonist Jude's story is powerful and poignant. Unforgettable.
