We'll also hear from contributors to the anthology Lennlee Keep (Dad Day: When Death Is a Holiday) and Sharisse Kimbro (For My Sisters).

Message from Kate:
This will likely be the last time I will host Women's Magazine. Tune in to find out about what I'll be doing instead! Thanks to all of you for all your support over these many years, and I hope you will continue to be avid listeners and supporters of Women's Magazine. (Keep in touch with Kate at www.kateraphael.com.
