Ep. 1: Teen Mental Health and Ep. 2: Justice
Kathryn interviews Jennifer Anne Moses, multi-genre author of “The Book of Joshua: A Novel”. Eighteen-year-old Joshua Cushing wakes up in a psych ward, not knowing how he got there. And no one in his family will tell him what happened to his girlfriend, Sophie. Moses weaves an unforgettable story from family secrets, friendship, faith, love, and redemption. It brings readers deeply into the lives of those who suffer from mental illness, as well as the friends and family affected by it. Kathryn also interviews attorney Andrew Stern, author of “Justice Under the Rubble: The Salvation Army Building Collapse”. In June 2013, the roof of a Philadelphia Salvation Army thrift store collapsed, killing six people and injuring 13 in one day. Stern shares his personal experience as the attorney for Mariya Plekan, a Ukrainian immigrant who was buried for 13 hours crushed under layers of debris, and lost half her body whose medical bills were projected at $50 million.
