Portland writer Leni Zumas joins us to talk about her new novel “Red Clocks,” published Jan. 2018. The book centers around the lives of four women in a small coastal town in Oregon. It’s set in an America under a political administration that has taken away most reproductive rights and reserved adoption for married, opposite-sex couples only. The book would go on to win the 2019 Oregon Book Award.
