Jessica Fowler interviews Dr. Tanya S. Crabb about her novel Living the Dream: A Military Coming of Age Story. Living the Dream provides a woman's view of life in the military, and in particular, tells the story of one Jamaican-American woman as she tries to overcome personal and emotional challenges (from the back cover). This weeks episode is different then the others because this is a novel, but it covers a lot of topics related to mental health. Some examples of the topics covered include family dynamics, trauma and relationships. Because this is typically a podcast related to mental health, there is a trigger warning for the book as it does discuss trauma.
