This week on the podcast, we feature an interview with LaTanya McQueen, author of When the Reckoning Comes, a book that has completely knocked me off my feet and quickly became my favorite read of the season. It has a little something for everyone: a strong female protagonist, unknown history, a love interest, dark, thrilling scenes that will have your pulse pounding. It has so many things to discover, but I was drawn to the exploration of plantations and the timely discussion of using these historically horrific sites as romanticized "destinations" in the South. I hope you'll give the podcast a listen and check out this amazing read!
