On today's episode, bilingual novelist and poet Deborah AM Phillips shares her favorite books as well as her story of finding out she was adopted, how it inspired her first novel and her hard-earned wisdom on the sacrifices required to keep writing through all of life's busy seasons. [pause] Deborah's novel, Argonauta, is a multi-generational family epic set in Montreal in the time of the 1970 October Crisis, as two sisters discover their families are not what they seemed. It is a rich work of history and fiction, rooted firmly in the reality of Deborah's own journey with her biological and adopted families.
