Author Lonnie Beerman joins us to discuss Tears of the Phoenix , a coming-of-age novel that readers are calling a lifeline for men, boys, and the women who love them; exploring friendship as survival, the quiet brutality of boyhood, and why the things that nearly broke us are often what make us whole.
