Live from the South Dakota Festival of Books

On today's show...

Authors and readers convene in Brookings this week for the South Dakota Festival of Books. Two writers take to the stage with "In the Moment."

Lian Dolan explores what happens when spouses take a break in "The Marriage Sabbatical." She shares what she learned while writing a story about relationships, temptation and gaining new perspectives.

Mona Susan Power, author of "A Council of Dolls," discusses the intergenerational scars left by Indian boarding schools. Her novel tells the story of Native Americans across three generations and the dolls who watch over the girls.

They speak to a live audience of readers at South Dakota State University.
