Author and friend of the program Louise Fein is back to talk about her sophomore book, The Hidden Child, which is climbing the best-seller charts! Like her debut, People Like Us (Daughter of the Reich in North America), Louise taps her family’s history and weaves it through the late twenties and early thirties in England—with some American flavor.
Plus, she and Brad talked about the creative ways she’s done research during the pandemic: lots of books and Zoom calls!
