    Sarah sits down with Lisa Williamson Rosenberg to discuss her psychological thriller Mirror Me. This dark, compelling novel takes listeners on an unsettling journey into the mind of Eddie Asher, a man caught between the fear of losing himself and the terror of what he may have done. Eddie arrives at Hudson Valley Psychiatric Hospital, unsure if he’s responsible for the death of his brother’s fiancée, Lucy—a woman with whom he shared a powerful, mysterious connection. As Eddie’s anxiety intensifies, he turns to Dr. Richard Montgomery, a psychiatrist specializing in dissociative identity disorder, in the hopes of piecing together his fractured memories. But the deeper Eddie goes into his mind, the more he unravels a terrifying truth that threatens to destroy everything he believes about his identity. With every layer of memory peeled back, Eddie inches closer to a mind-bending revelation that could change his life forever.

In this interview, Sarah and Lisa unpack the novel’s intricacies, touching on the themes of mental health, the blurred lines between reality and illusion, and the terror of discovering things you never knew about yourself. Whether you’re a fan of psychological novels or stories that challenge your perceptions of reality, this episode will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    What Was Lost by Melissa Connelly | GSMC Book Review Podcast
    Mar 18 2025
    Sarah sits down with author Melissa Connelly to discuss her gripping novel, What Was Lost. This powerful story spans three decades, exploring the weight of trauma, the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, and the fight for justice in a time before the #MeToo movement.

But when long-suppressed trauma resurfaces, she makes the difficult choice to return—bringing her teenage daughter along for a confrontation that will change them both. Seeking forgiveness for past lies and revenge for secrets kept, Marti's journey is both heartbreaking and deeply resonant.

    Melissa Connelly crafts an unflinching look at survival, resilience, and the societal shifts from 1970 to 2000 that shaped women’s ability to speak out against injustice. If you’re drawn to thought-provoking fiction like Hello Beautiful and The Lying Life of Adults, What Was Lost is a must-read.

  • Sleeping in the Sun by Joanne Howard | GSMC Book Review Podcast

    Sleeping in the Sun by Joanne Howard | GSMC Book Review Podcast
    Mar 4 2025
    Sarah sits down with author Joanne Howard to discuss her compelling historical fiction novel, Sleeping in the Sun. Set in the final years of the British Raj, this gripping story explores colonial tensions, family dynamics, and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing India.

    At the heart of the novel is Gene Hinton, a young American boy growing up in Midnapore, India. His family, American missionaries, operate a boarding house on the outskirts of town, offering shelter to those in need. Though they live with the privileges of white foreigners, they are outsiders to British society. Gene’s only real connection is with Arthur, the family’s Indian servant. But when Gene’s uncle—a powerful British judge—arrives unannounced and takes up residence in their modest home, tensions rise.

    As Arthur grows close to an Indian woman who arrives at their doorstep, he uncovers a chilling truth about the judge’s past. Now, he must confront his own sense of duty and decide where his true loyalties lie. Meanwhile, the Hinton family faces their own reckoning: can they continue to call India home as the tides of history shift?

    Joanne Howard masterfully weaves a tale of power, privilege, and resistance in Sleeping in the Sun. In her conversation with Sarah, she shares insights into her research, the inspiration behind the novel, and the historical realities that shaped her characters.

    Tune in to hear Joanne Howard’s reflections on colonial India, the complexities of human relationships, and the timeless struggle for justice.
