In this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Allison Buccola to discuss her new novel, The Ascent, a nerve-rattling thriller about motherhood, identity, and the truths we think we know about our families. We chat with Allison about her fascination with cults, the complexities of new motherhood, character development, her path from lawyer to novelist, and the challenges of writing a second book.
