Show Notes

This week, we're joined by special guest Vicki Johnson. Vicki is a former White House staffer and the author of the forthcoming picture book Molly's Tuxedo, due out in June 2023 from Little Bee Books. She's a 2022 Lambda Literary Fellow, a graduate of Smith College, and an MFA candidate at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. You can visit her online at vickijohnsonwrites.com, on Twitter at @vickijohnson, and on Instagram at @vickijohnsonwrites.

Together, Vicki and I dive into Chapter 15: A Telegram, in which a telegram arrives, all hell breaks loose, and Jo gets the most famous literary haircut of all time. We do spend most of the episode talking about that haircut. Civil War? Never heard of her!
