Join host Donna Apidone and author J. Ryan Stradal to discuss his national bestselling novel — The Lager Queen of Minnesota.

An homage to midwestern values and family drama, Stradal's story spans 50 years and shares the story of three women whose family splinters when Helen and Edith's father leaves their entire shared inheritance to the younger, more business-savvy Helen. As each woman faces their own hardships, the complexities in both character and family become exposed. We find the optimistic belief that people can change through their stories, and resolution can be possible even if it takes generations.
