Topics discussed include: The origins of the novel, including Rae’s time spent as a youth worker in Northern Ireland - learning about ‘The Troubles’. A mother’s protecton of her children - how a mother can prevail over terror and threats, even revisiting sites of trauma or placing oneself in mortal peril in order to protect her child[ren]. Believing in a cause - how this greater unifier can benefit/detrimentially impact the individual specifically and humanity overall. A mother’s intuition - how it can lead a mother and/or lead a mother astray. How an eye for an eye leaves the world blind. What it is to ‘move on’/‘move forward’ in life. And so much more!
