In today's episode, Veronica shares her experiences and insights into her latest novel, "Bacchanal," a book that has become a powerful vessel for her personal healing. Through the lens of the protagonist, Liza, and the struggles she faces with her mother, Ella, Veronica delves into the intricate dynamics of the mother-daughter relationship within the African-American community. This exploration is filled with raw emotions and unresolved issues, highlighting the challenges that many black women face within their own families.

But "Bacchanal" is more than just a story about familial conflicts. It also delves into the complexities of the carnival setting, exploring themes of good versus evil and the search for identity and acceptance. Veronica's ability to weave these narratives together creates a truly immersive experience for her readers, allowing them to delve into the depths of human emotion and reflection.

As we dive into this conversation with Veronica, we will uncover the inspiration behind her work, the impact of her personal experiences on her writing, and the importance of understanding and accepting imperfect relationships. We will also explore the challenges of being a black writer in a predominantly white industry and the power of storytelling to bridge gaps and foster empathy.

So sit back, relax, and join us on this journey of self-discovery and healing with the remarkable Veronica G. Henry. It's time for another enlightening session of Black Writer Therapy!
