In this episode, Abbe tells us about the fairytale-inspired book she's been reading: Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi.


Then, our book correspondent, Emma, sits down with Megan Griswold about her memoir, The Book of Help, which follows her quest for alternative remedies to the pain and problems she's experiencing.


Finally, Abbe chats with psychologist, author, and founding director of the Center for the Study of Boys’ and Girls’ Lives at the University of Pennsylvania, Michael C. Reichert, Ph.D., about his new work, How to Raise a Boy.
