Talking Back to Stories: an interview with Author Jeanne Blasberg

Send us a text Hello Bookworms! Have you ever wondered what goes into writing a retelling of a classics story, legend, or myth? I discuss that topic and more with our guest today, author Jeanne Blasberg. She has written the book "Daughter of a Promise", and it is a modern day retelling of the Biblical story of David and Bathsheba. We talk about how different the story is seen in the modern "me too" movement, what goes into writing a retelling, and the powerful connection our myths and legends have to our stories today.
