TSM22-37. Natalie Zett Flower in the River


Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Natalie Zett, on air from September 6th

Natalie Zett wrote a book where the main character is not a person, but a tragedy that few have heard of: The Eastland Disaster of 1915.
But what happens when you’re innocently investigating your family’s history, and the supernatural intervenes? That happened without my seeking or wanting this, and I file that under the “unintended consequences” category. Some things I learned from my book writing adventures—when you awaken the dead, expect the unexpected.

A ship chartered for Western Electric’s yearly company picnic capsized in the Chicago River, killing 844. To this day, only a few have heard of The Eastland Disaster. I’d like to help change that with my book, Flower in the River .It is all about the tragedy of the Eastland Disaster of 1915 in downtown Chicago and the benefits of exploring family history. The unexpected consequences of writing about family history, and how to talk to the dead and to have them talk back.
How can your family history research can help the living. Exploring your own life through the lives of your ancestors Why do you say Supernatural occurrences are normal for genealogists
What’s (Working) Class Got to Do with it? Why are some tragedies, such as the Titanic, remembered and extolled, while others, such as the Eastland Disaster are forgotten? I have some theories.
Memento mori, that is, remember that you are a future dead person and consider what you want to leave behind for those who will want to know you 100 years (or longer) from now. Our genealogical identities are often more complex than we realize.

AK22-37. Stacy Lee, Never in a Billion


An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Stacy Lee, on air from September 6th

 Stacy Lee talks about the latest books in her Amazon best-selling Historical Fiction series, set on the beautiful and enchanting New England beaches of York, Maine
The Nubble Light series is set on the beautiful and enchanting New England Beaches of York, Maine. Each of these novels are separate stories that appeal to readers of all ages, especially women. Young adults to seniors have confessed to falling in love with characters that will feel like friends in these quick reads.

Each novel consists of a female main character who has a personal obstacle to overcome. Some learn about the importance of second chances, while others are challenged to love without hesitation. In each story, someone returns to her hometown. Whatever the lesson may be, they learn from the experience of other characters, as the action toggles between multiple time periods, mainly the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and present day.

“Written like a movie, these books offer entertaining, unique twists in a warm and fuzzy Hallmark-type way,” says the author. “There is a constant action in these quick, easy reads that zero in on human connection and how people bond with one another.”

There are currently three books in the series with the fourth book on the way this August. These stories take readers on a journey of big emotions and leave them satisfied and happy for the characters, while also leaving them wanting more! They can’t wait to pick up the next book to check in on their old friends and meet new ones.

TSM22-37. David E. Bernstein. American Racial Classifications

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest David Bernstein, on air from September 6th

Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America By David E. Bernstein. American racial classifications

A call for the separation of race and state, backed by a deep dive into the surreal world of racial classification in America.

Americans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.

• How did the government decide that a dark-complexioned, burka-wearing Muslim Yemini should be classified as generically white, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed immigrant from Spain should be classified as Hispanic and treated as a member of a minority group?

• Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by the official racial categories, when the classifications have no scientific basis?

In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more arbitrary and absurd. With rising ethno-nationalism threatening democracy around the world, it’s also dangerous. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.

David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, William & Mary, Brooklyn Law School, and the University of Turin.

Known as a fearless contrarian, Professor Bernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis,” “delightful and informative,” “sharp and iconoclastic,” “well-written and destined to be influential,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” Professor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy (the leading law professor blog) and at Instapundit.com. Professor Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale Law School, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow in Law, Economics, and Public Policy.

Professor Bernstein is married and has three children of mixed Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Spanish-Jewish origin. He prefers not to classify them.

RG22-37. Heather Dugan on Divorce & Kids


Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Heather Dugan, on air from September 6th

“Children can move forward, and parents must be good role models for their kids. This can turn what could be a devastating experience into an opportunity for growth and a fulfilling future. Use your strength of honesty with your teenagers. Being honest with them about the situation helps to normalize what is happening and encourages them to be honest with you. Provide plenty of opportunities for them to express themselves and to talk,” believes Dugan, a resilient single mom of three. Heather’s devastating isolation following multiple family deaths and a lengthy divorce sparked a personal quest: to solve her own loneliness. She is the founder of Cabernet Coaches®, social access and self-betterment group for women.
