Sheryl welcomes the writer and teacher Honor Moore to the program. Her latest book, "The Bishop's Daughter: A Memoir" couldn't be more personal and revelatory. She was a child of spiritual and material privilege, her father the revered Bishop of St. John the Divine. But her parents, devoted to helping others, kept huge secrets from their large family. And the book, published by W.W. Norton tells us the difficulties it posed for them and their oldest daughter, Honor. Journalist Sheryl McCarthy talks with newsmakers about their sources of inspiration. She has private conversations about public affairs issues with the people who report on them and those who ARE the story. The subjects range from global warming issues to domestic ones.

Honor Moore reads "The Return"

Authors discuss their current reading from the Southern Festival of Books.

Honor Moores father, the Bishop Paul Moore, captivated the nation by bringing political activism into the priesthood even while he struggled with a deeply guarded secret. Victoria Redels fictional father, Itzaak, escaped from Nazi-occupied Belgium with his own haunting secret to keep, most especially from his daughter, Sarah. The two authors spoke about their books, The Bishops Daughter, a memoir, and The Border of Truth, a novel, before a live audience in lower Manhattan at Housing Works Bookstore, a non-profit organization that provides housing, health care, job training, advocacy, and other services for homeless New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.
