S1 E8: Side Piece Is the New Concubine | Lakisha Shepard | Lynn's Library
Side Piece Is the New Concubine | Lakisha Shepard | Lynn's Library
She spent a career in law enforcement — the side of the room where other people confess. Now she stands in front of a congregation. Lakisha Shepard's memoir keeps returning to one word: pieces. A piece of your confidence, a piece of your self-worth, given away a little at a time — and she doesn't write it as something taken from her. She writes it as something she watched herself do.
If your life was a book, what chapter would you be in right now — and what would you call it? That's the question we close every episode with, and Lakisha's answer is the whole book in six words.

S1 E7: The Story | Mitchell J. Mueck | Lynn's Library
The Story | Mitchell J. Mueck | Lynn's Library
A single mother raises six children across the 1950s, 60s and 70s — and her middle son defies a crippling illness and a grim prognosis to live a life of tragedy, triumph, and hard-won wisdom. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you won't come away unchanged.
If your life was a book, what chapter would you be in right now — and what would you call it? That's the question we close every episode with, and Mitchell's answer is one you won't forget.

What happens when the survival skills that kept you alive start keeping you stuck?
Danny Lampkin enlisted in the military on September 11, 2001 — the same day the towers fell. He's now a retired Army/Navy veteran, six-time author, parental alienation advocate, and speaker. His psychological thriller Barely Got Away is his top seller, and Lynn's Library community voted it almost unanimously 🔥 Bask.
In this episode we dig into a story with a twist ending readers called "vindicating," pacing they couldn't put down, and characters that feel uncomfortably real. We also talk about what it means to outlive your survival mode — and why Danny now believes asking for help is the greatest act of resilience.

In this episode of Lynn's Library, host Lynn Dadson sits down with author, therapist, and trauma specialist Adena Bank Lees, LCSW — to unpack her book "Covert Emotional Incest: The Hidden Sexual Abuse — A Story of Hope and Healing" (revised & updated edition).
Adena explains what covert emotional incest actually is — a subtle, non-contact form of sexual abuse within the family system — and how to spot it: triangulation, the "substitute spouse" or confidant role, parentified kids, and the child everyone praises as mature, the hero, the high-achiever. Drawing on 40 years of clinical work and her own healing, she shares how these patterns form, how they pass down through generations, and what genuine recovery looks like.
An honest, sometimes heavy conversation about family dynamics, boundaries, and reclaiming your story — and why "you can't heal what you refuse to name."

S1E4 — Searching for a Father's Love | Michelle Briggs | Lynn's Library
What happens when a father never shows up - and that absence shapes everything about the woman you become?
In this episode of Lynn's Library, I sit down with author, speaker, and founder of Journey to Heal LLC, Michelle Briggs, to talk about her memoir Searching for a Father's Love: A Journey of Brokenness, Healing, and Grace. The book begins with a single image that never leaves you: a little girl sitting on a porch, waiting for a father who never came. It traces Michelle's journey through childhood abandonment, through the wounds that shaped her sense of worth, and through forgiveness, faith, and the long road back to herself.
Michelle brings the heart of her organization Journey to Heal LLC - dedicated to helping women rediscover their identity and walk confidently in their purpose - and the raw honesty of someone who has outgrown being a victim of her own story.
This one will stay with you.

S1E3 — Babs and Aggie: The Good, the Bad and the Vegan | Hazel Hitchins | Lynn's Library
What happens when two centuries-old witches reunite to take on a property scam, a dangerous villain, and the weight of lives half-lived?In this episode of Lynn's Library, I sit down with debut author Hazel Hitchins — folklore fanatic, humanist, feminist, and founder of The Bandaged Quill editing service — to talk about her novel Babs and Aggie: The Good, the Bad and the Vegan. Set in a Welsh shopping arcade, the book follows Aggie, a retired healer who has made herself small, and Babs, a force of nature inspired by the Slavic legend of Baba Yaga, as they face down a villain and everything he represents.Hazel writes from Undy, Wales, where she lectures on folklore — how ancient stories still shape how we see the world — and supports new writers through critique groups, the Storyteller's Elite academy, and her own editing practice. This is her debut novel. It is wickedly funny, unexpectedly tender, and full of something rare: older women who are fully, fiercely alive.This one hits different.Get a copy of the book: thelynnshow.com/guest-books

S1E2 — The Pain of Vengeance | Dante Cinque | Lynn's Library
What do you do when the system meant to protect your children becomes the thing destroying them?
In this episode of Lynn's Library, I sit down with author, broadcaster, and advocate Dante Cinque — known off air as David Coleman — to talk about his novel The Pain of Vengeance. First published in 2002, the book follows Attorney Malik Coleman, a man caught between his duty to the law and his responsibility as a father, who becomes the reluctant leader of an underground movement fighting the family court system.
Dante brings 35 years in radio, a background covering the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators, and the founding of I Love My Children Too — a nonprofit for noncustodial fathers — to a conversation that is raw, real, and long overdue. He's re-releasing this book now because, as he puts it, nothing has changed.
This one will stay with you.
