Noah has a conversation with author Cynthia Beach about gender justice, abuse & trauma, and writing serious fiction. Cynthia talks about what led her to weave these important issues into her novel The Surface of Water, and how our stories can bring about change and transformation in ways standard approaches can’t.
Cynthia Beach authored The Surface of Water: A Novel(IVP, 2024) and a writing book, Creative Juices for Writers,2nd edition. She was a longtime professor of English and Creative Writing and now serves as an Artist in Residence in Scotland. She co-founded and offers Scriptoria Workshop with Newbery winner Gary D. Schmidt. Her sequel, A Thousand Wings of Light, is forthcoming. (See CynthiaBeach.com)
