Episode 197: Mandy

Mandy

Julie Andrews is Mary Poppins, Maria von Trapp, Queen Clarisse, Lady Whistledown… and a beloved author. On Episode 197, Alli and her guest discuss her first published work: Mandy. They speak in-depth about a story they describe as a “warm cup of tea” and cover a wide range of subjects: their favorite Julie Andrews moments, the appeal of orphan stories for kid readers, Mandy’s emotional complexity, themes of luck and exceptionalism, and more.

Erin La Rosa is the author of For Butter or Worse. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three daughters (two feline, one human). Follow her on Instagram (@erinlarosalit) and Twitter (@erinlarosalit).

This episode is brought to you by Kensington’s newest title, Unforgiven by Rebecca Zanetti.
