Surviving the Worst with Anissa Gray

This week on Black and Published, Nikesha speaks with Anissa Gray, author of the novel, Life and Other Love Songs. The novel uses music as a metaphor to examine the aftermath of one man's decision on his entire family after they lose the loves of their lives. 

In our conversation, Anissa discusses how she processed her own personal tragedies on the page. Plus, the reason she says writing Life and Other Love Songs was harder than writing her debut, The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls. And as a journalist by trade with work  featured in The Washington Post, CNN, The Cut and Shondaland, Anissa explains the turning point in her life that brought her back to her passion.
