I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Donna Jones Alward. On this episode we’re going to talk about her new book, Ship of Dreams. Aboard the ill-fated Titanic, Ship of Dreams follows two women bound by friendship and impossible choices. Hannah Martin hopes the voyage will mend her fractured marriage while hiding a devastating secret, while spirited Louisa Phillips flees a future she refuses to accept. As disaster strikes, both women must decide which dreams are worth saving—and what they are willing to sacrifice to survive.

I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Clay Cane. On this episode we’re going to talk about his new book, Burn Down Master’s House. Inspired by true, long-suppressed histories of enslaved resistance, Burn Down Master’s Houseinterweaves the lives of men and women across the American South whose quiet–and not so quiet–defiance and bold rebellion ignite a collective uprising. Through friendship, strategic silence, legal battles, and moral corruption, Clay Cane exposes the brutal machinery of slavery while illuminating courage, complicity, and the enduring human fight for justice.
