Author Julie Fingersh came on the pod and shared with Rachel a picture of a dragonfly which is a sign of her younger brother Danny and part of a much larger, intimate, moving and powerful story. It all gets to the story behind Julie's debut memoir, STAY. Julie and Rachel covered a lot in this episode: family and family secrets, trauma, empty nesting, career choices, writing, letting go and staying.
