In today’s episode, I am chatting with Hadley Leggett. Hadley writes layered book club fiction exploring truth in shades of gray. Her winding career path has included degrees in medicine, biochemistry, Spanish, and science journalism, as well as a ten-year stint as a stay-at-home mom. After moving all over the United States during her childhood, she now lives in Seattle with her husband and three children, as well as her parents, three cats, and an ever-rotating troop of foster kittens. Hadley’s first novel, All They Ask Is Everything, is her love letter to the messiness of motherhood and will be published by Lake Union in August 2024.

Episode Highlights:

  • Hadley's Career Journey: Learn how Hadley transitioned into medical writing and how thinking outside the box helped her leverage her unique skillset.
  • Motherhood’s Messiness: We discuss the societal pressures on mothers, emphasizing that while we ask more of them, basic support systems are often lacking. We also explore realistic motherhood, the highs and the lows.
  • Finding Community: Hadley shares the importance of creating a supportive network, whether it’s among friends or within writing communities.
  • Book Flight of Book Club Fiction: Discover Hadley’s perspective on book club fiction—books that strike a balance between genre/mainstream writing and literary fiction. Her book flight features 3 books in this genre that focus on portraying realistic motherhood.

This is such a fantastic episode on the reality of motherhood, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
