We chat about why she chose romance to tell this story of truth, power, and what it costs to do the right thing as well as what she thinks can be done about the future of journalism and what's next on her varied dance card.

Worry Doll is a sapphic tale of desire, memory, and the delusion of love. It is also, as Laura alludes to, very creepy. I had to go outside and finish my copy in the sunshine because I was STRESSED.
