In this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome back Kimberly McCreight to discuss her new novel, Like Mother, Like Daughter, an emotional mystery about a mother's disappearance and the journey of a daughter trying to find her.  We chat with Kimberly about the complexities of motherhood and our shared parenting challenges; the inspiration for this novel; her orchestral form of storytelling (which includes flashbacks, journal entries, therapy transcripts and legal documents); the importance of staying open to unexpected connections in her writing; and the woo woo tools we use to sustain us in midlife!
