About Everything That Came Before Grace - The Podcast
Everything That Came Before Grace, The Podcast is devoted to Bill See's new novel, his follow up to the critically acclaimed doc-novel, "33 Days." Not a reader? Like audiobooks but want more than a straight reading? This is for you: A writer's account of the inspiration behind the story of a single father who comes of age as he discovers whether it's love or fatherhood that will save him. Haunted by his mother’s death & one fateful night back in college, Benjamin desperately tries to keep his mental illness a secret from his daughter Sophia long enough to get her off to college.
A very special episode. Divine Weeks guitarist and long time friend Raj Makwana interviews Bill. It's really more a conversation between two old friends on the eve of the release of Bill's new book.
