Laura Warrell on SWEET, SOFT, PLENTY RHYTHM
\u201cI feel like very often when we have stories about womanizing characters, whether we piece those stories out, so we see each woman\u2014individually or not, they don't really have stories. They don't really have lives except as they relate to that main character. So, it was always going to be each woman steps forward, each woman gets a chapter.\u201d Laura Warrell takes us behind the scenes of her smart, sharp and deeply resonant debut novel\xa0Sweet, Soft, Plenty Rhythm.\xa0She joins us on the show to talk about flipping the script, the women she writes about (and letting her characters be who they are), love and loneliness, her writing process and much more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Becky.\xa0
