Today, we welcome Sierra Godfrey, author of A Very Typical Family, to talk about Women’s Fiction. Is it a genre? What does that category mean? Can it have romance in it? Does it have to have a certain kind of ending? We answer those questions and more. Then we’re giving our best women’s fiction recommendations!

• Something in Sierra’s author bio already has Dawn nervous
• The challenge of writing sibling stories as an only child
• Women’s Fiction and what does that mean exactly
• Roni can’t help being a “Well, actually…” person
• Our best women’s fiction recommendations
• If Dawn is ever in the woods, it means we need to send help
• Our RAD Recs of the Week
