Episode Synopsis
My guest is Amy Julia Becker. Her new book White Picket Fences: Turning Toward Love in a World Divided by Privilege (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B7R8ZB8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1)welcomes us into her life, from the charm of her privileged southern childhood to her adult experience in the northeast, and the denials she has faced as the mother of a child with special needs. She shows how a life behind a white picket fence can restrict even as it protects, and how it can prevent us from loving our neighbors well.
White Picket Fences (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B7R8ZB8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1) invites us to respond to privilege with generosity, humility, and hope. It opens us to questions we are afraid to ask, so that we can walk further from fear and closer to love, in all its fragile and mysterious possibilities. Special Guest: Amy Julia Becker.
