About this episode
This week, we're sitting down with psychotherapist, activist and author, Farzana Doctor.  We're discussing her recent novel, The Beauty of Us.  It's a stunning book about two girls and a teacher in a boarding school in the 80s all trying to find their way and solve a mystery. We've both read the book and loved it. Intro and outro is Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill.
