Kathleen Glasgow is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Girl in Pieces, as well as How to Make Friends with the Dark and You’d Be Home Now (which drops 9/28/21). I first picked up Girl In Pieces at an airport. (I find the best books at the airport). I was mesmerized from the first page. Kathleen portrays beautifully complex characters dealing with kind of trauma that is often hidden away from view and not talked about. She gives us insight into what it feels like to be a young adult, trying to figure out the world and your place in it, all while dealing with very grown-up issues (e.g. self-harm, substance abuse, recovery). If you're a parent, you must read Kathleen's books. You will understand better (perhaps, remember?) what it's like to be a teen, not a child but not yet an adult. You'll also come away with a new appreciation and empathy for humanity. You might become a better parent, too.
Included in this conversation:
Kathleen's own experience with trauma
How her experience influences her own parenting
Her path from trauma to prolific writer
Her creative process
Insight into the main character, Charlie, of Girl In Pieces
Discussion of the nature of addiction
The overriding theme of her books
Her vision for the future
A limited series on Hulu?! (Are you listening Reese Witherspoon + Drew Barrymore)!
