  1. Robbie, you have written a wonderful, profound conversation with Liz that I found deeply compelling. Liz – what an amazing writing journey that included years of learning, the workshops and then that long stretch of persistence before Telling Sonny came into being. What really resonated with me was the origin of the story. That small, almost fragmentary note from your mother. How often it is a single, unfinished sentence that opens an entire world. It reminds me that stories are not always found in grand declarations, but in the quiet, unresolved spaces of family memory. And the reflection on the poor farm was a reminder that systems change, yet human vulnerability remains. It echoes something we see often in literature. That progress is rarely as simple as we hope. This is my second time around to read this review!!! Kudos to you both!!!

    1. Hi Rebecca, thank you for reading my review twice. Liz’s books are very insightful about the human condition and the plight of females, in particular, in history (not that long ago either). I’m delighted you enjoyed this interview.
