Rising from the Ashes: A Conversation with Lonnie Beerman
About this episode
What if being the kid who didn't fit in was never the problem, it was always the point? Author Lonnie Beerman joins us to discuss Tears of the Phoenix, a coming-of-age novel that readers are calling a lifeline for men, boys, and the women who love them; exploring friendship as survival, the quiet brutality of boyhood, and why the things that nearly broke us are often what make us whole. Beerman unpacks the emotional blueprint behind the book, the one rule about manhood he burned to the ground, and why now is exactly the right time for this story.
