An Entertaining Journey Through Remarkable Books
What can a Hollywood legend teach us about being true to ourselves? What might an extraordinarily perceptive octopus reveal about friendship and second chances? And what happens when a woman leaves a career in nuclear policy to open a tiny gourmet food shop?
In this engaging program, storyteller and book reviewer Jenny Riddle shares a collection of fiction, memoirs, history, and essays, weaving together fascinating lives, surprising discoveries, humor, and personal reflections.
From Katharine Hepburn’s fierce independence to Ina Garten’s unlikely reinvention and the wisdom of Mary Oliver, these stories invite us to look at our own lives with a little more curiosity, courage, and heart.
You’ll leave entertained, inspired, and perhaps with a few more titles to add to your reading list.
