Sarah McColl, Author of JOY ENOUGH

Sarah McColl is an absolutely beautiful writer whose word choices and sentences I call attention to in our conversation. Her memoir, JOY ENOUGH, was published two days ago (Jan 15, 2018) and is one of the most elegant memoirs I've read, similar to A YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING by Joan Didion. This ode to her mother and examination of their relationship also incorporates Sarah's troubled marriage, her food career and so much else. Listen to us chat, two similar women, recognizing parts of ourselves in each other.
