On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Nina Simon to discuss her debut novel, Mother-Daughter Murder Night, a family drama involving three generations of women and a murder mystery. Think: Gilmore Girls, but with murder.\n\nOur conversation with Nina was like a therapy session for us (massive compliment). We discussed so many deep questions: what does it mean to be a strong woman? Are there different ways to be strong? Can interdependence and care be seen as strength? Can an imperfect family be a source of love and hope? What does it look like when you have a group of women who are alphas and how can they negotiate how to work together (helloo team sports)? How do you build a new professional identity and shed an old one?\n\nThis book has such a personal inspiration behind it, providing a comforting escape for Nina and her mother who was diagnosed with cancer, and it will be a joy to all of you! Nina had \u201cthe audacity to create something out of nothing\u201d and we all get to reap the rewards. Mother-Daughter Murder Night is out now! Buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free chat with Nina wherever you get your podcasts!\nSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
