About this episode
Today, we’re joined by Roger B. Newman, a medical doctor and author of seven books. Though he hails from South Carolina, his North Carolina roots run deep. His latest novel, Boys, opens in Rockingham County and delves into the Jim Crow era of the American South, told through the eyes of two brothers—one white, one Black. In this episode, Roger shares the inspiration behind his book and the historical truths woven into its pages.
