57:57Join memoirist Laurie Lee Hall and Signature Books Director Barbara Jones Brown for this fascinating interview based on Laurie’s new memoir, Dictates of Conscience: From Mormon High Priest To My Life As A Woman . Laurie’s growing-up years were defined by the conflict between her physical condition as a boy and her inherent identity as a girl. Unable to explain or resolve her gender dysphoria, she committed to living her adult life as a male. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and became chief architect of its temples, a stake president, and a parent of five children before she finally embraced her true identity and gradually transitioned to living full-time as a woman. Though she wanted to stay on as a church architect and a faithful church member, her stake president—and former counselor—excommunicated her following her gender transition. In this episode, Laurie shares her story and reads excerpts from her compelling new memoir.…

28:14"In what novelist John Gardner referred to as 'the vivid and continuous fictional dream,' Mary Clyde writes two stories of alternate realities with the same or similar characters. Here, fugue-like, a post-apocalyptic world in the Arizona desert informs, undercuts, reiterates, and ultimately harmonizes with a family struggling to tend to a son and brother hospitalized with traumatic brain injury. Or is it the other way around? Winner of the 1999 Flannery O'Connor Award for her collection, Survival Rates, Clyde presents life as blistered and harrowing but making way for something utterly new and unknown." —David Pace, author of American Trinity and Other Stories from the Mormon Corridor Author Mary Clyde talks with marketing specialist Beth Brumer Reeve about how Journeys from a Desert Road came to life, how her kids always talking about a zombie apocalypse informed her story, and why she doesn't believe in writing at 5:00 a.m. Find out more about her book here: https://www.signaturebooks.com/books/p/journeys-from-a-desert-road…
