Dr. Sunita Reddy emailed to ask if I would be interested in checking out her debut novel? I looked at the title, "Before We Were Women," and read her pitch about the book and then wondered, is this a book that I might enjoy reading? So I asked her about that, do you think I will enjoy it? I was getting a sense her readership for this story would me a high percentage of women. She encouraged me to give it a try. So I did.
That was a good decision. I loved this novel. When I interviewed her I
asked her to describe it. She said it is "a contemporary womens' fiction
about empowerment, resilience, sisterhood, of making yourself heard and
count, of bringing things together so you can become who you want to
become in your life and find power in who you are." I could not have
said it any better. All this is true, and more. She has written a real
page turner here. I also asked her how she finds the time to write given
the demands of her busy medical practice? Listen to this interview to
find out what she said. She has inspired me.
