My guest today is acclaimed author, Robyn Gigl. Robyn's debut novel, "By Way of Sorrow", is thoroughly engrossing; a must-read legal thriller.  This is the story of Erin McCabe, a trans women attorney who is defending Sharise, also a trans women, who is accused of murder. 

This is an intricate plot, with a strong emotional charge. Through Erin McCabe's personal and courtroom battles, we come face to face with prejudice, and injury towards trans people. Robyn's characters are thoughtfully created and compelling. I felt like I got to know Erin McCabe as a friend, and cheered for her every step of the way. She is a dauntless, sensitive, and complex protagonist.

I can't wait for you to read Robyn's new book.  Listen in and hear Robyn introduce you to the indomitable Erin McCabe.
