Kianna Alexander stops by to talk about CAROLINA BUILT - a historical novel about the life of Josephine Leary. Jo Leary was a woman born into slavery who became a North Carolina Real Estate Mogul. Her story has been untold for years and Kianna talks about researching this woman's remarkable life. She also talks about her choices in telling Josephine's story, focusing on love and family, rather than fear and racism. Kianna also talks about her kinship with Josephine - how what Josephine struggled with in her marriage, life and family, are the things women struggle with today. We also talk about that cover.
