The Sandra Moran Alphabet Soup Radio Book Club

This month’s book for the Sandra Moran Alphabet Soup Radio Book Club is Thomas Page McBee’s “Man Alive: A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness and Becoming a Man.” Panelists joining host Elizabeth Andersen are Luke Harness, Sandra Meade, Samantha Kay Sera, and Danna Elaine Wheeldon.
“[Thomas Page] McBee’s answer to the initial question of “what makes a man?” is more generous, more inspiring, and more creative than the usual gender binaries allow. Full of bravery and clear, far-sighted compassion and devoid of sentiment, victimization, and cliché, McBee’s meditations bring him a hard-won sense of self—one that is bound to inspire any reader who has struggled with internal dissonance.”––Publishers Weekly starred review
