Summary
What do you do when history refuses to stop happening? Roberta Roy, speech-language pathologist turned novelist, sat down with us to talk about The Morning After the Morning After — a gripping, historically accurate novel that weaves January 6th, COVID, Hurricane Ida, and global displacement into one family's fight to hold it all together. This isn't just a book about survival; it's a mirror held up to the chaos we all lived through — and somehow, it's still hopeful.
