Episode Synopsis

How do you tell a story of one family’s lingering grief with sensitivity and care? Writer Jennifer Senior did just that in her Pulitzer Prize–winning nonfiction piece for The Atlantic, “What Bobby McIlvaine Left Behind.” Jennifer is a brilliant chronicler of what connects us, what troubles us, and what helps us keep putting one foot in front of the other. Join us as she explains her approach to a story about how a family has coped in the 20 years since Sept. 11. It’s a lesson in empathy and grace.
