Her newest work, Flogging Faith, is out this Thursday - don't miss it!Theme song: Forces of Attraction by Scott Holmes Music

Coldwater, the author of When Ivy Met Adam. We chatted about the book (and the strange similarities between book Ivy and our Ivy) and the unusual but wonderful mix of queerness and religion in Jennifer's work.Theme song: Forces of Attraction by Scott Holmes Music
