## Resource

Dana Perino, Co-Anchor of America's Newsroom and Co-Host of The Five, joins Kennedy for an extra special Happy Hour celebrating her fiction debut, Purple State. The duo discusses the "quarter-life crisis" many young women face in New York, the surprising friendships that exist across the aisle in Washington D.C., and how a chance walk in New Jersey sparked the entire plot to her new novel.
