Episode 12: Leah Weiss
Beth talks with author Leah Weiss. Southern by grace, her roots run deep in the flat lands of North Carolina where she was born. When she was ten, Leah moved north to the mountains of Virginia, home of her father's family and where she's lived ever since. Leah came to the craft of writing in her mid-fifties and found the writing voice that is reflected in her novels. It is southern and lyrical, and always about people who are self-sufficient and hard-working with humble dreams.
Her new book 'All the Little Hopes' will be released July 27th.
