    Episode 167: Vijaya Bodach on her novel Bound (May 7, 2025)
    May 7 2025
    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Vijaya Bodach on her novel Bound.

    Set in Pullman, WA, home of Washington State University (Go Cougs!) BOUND is a stunning debut novel that's perfect for fans of Sara Zarr and Francisco Stork. Seventeen-year-old Rebecca Joshi, an adopted girl from India, burn survivor, and primary caretaker of her intellectually disabled sister, Joy, has one dream—to be a physician. Her traditional Indian father relies upon Rebecca to care for Joy while he buries himself in work to drown his grief over his wife’s death. Leaving home is the only way Rebecca can envision reaching her goal. She helps Joy develop greater independence, and is devastated when Joy becomes pregnant. Rebecca tussles—with her father and with herself—over who is responsible for Joy and her baby. When Rebecca discovers the truth of what happened the day she was burned, she struggles to hold onto her dream while wrestling with questions of life, love, and responsibility.

    A STORY ABOUT A BOOK CLUB, GRIEF, AND HOPE Two years after the death of her mother, forty-year-old Frankie Waters reluctantly joins a parish book club to prove to her family she is coming out of her grief-like state. While engaging with the eclectic women who drink wine and never finish their readings, she encounters Olivia, a young, single mother who has a secret that could be life altering. As the weekly book meetings progress, Frankie's desire to help Olivia and the other women start to lighten her pain. But good intentions aren't always enough. Could Frankie's intrusiveness push Olivia to make a horrible decision, or worse, cause Frankie to regret and return to her cocoon of grief?

    Episode 165: Katie Breckenridge on her book Silent Sorrows: Let's Talk about Abortion, Reproductive Technologies, and Adoption (May 5, 2025)
    May 6 2025
    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Katie Breckenridge on her book Silent Sorrows: Let's Talk about Abortion, Reproductive Technologies, and Adoption.

    Today's self-indulgent society is one in which satisfying one's desires at the expense of others prevails. This mindset is particularly common in areas of procreation such as abortion and various assisted reproductive technologies. Through a lens that combines Christianity, natural law, and scientific reason, this book discusses how the breakdown of man-woman marriage, biological connection, the destruction and disregard for human life, and the objectification and commodification of women and children manufactures trauma in not only adults, but in children. This trauma is evidenced by the stories of adult children who are victims of society's current cultural trends, as well as evidenced by the research of various psychologists, sociologists, and other professionals. For too long, adults have been asking children to conform to their ways of living, assuming children will just "get over it," and children are now starting to speak out about the harms of their upbringings. It's essential to illuminate their voices, as these familial breakdowns have become so normal that we currently can't talk about any of their negative aspects with any degree of common sense.
